Oasis Juice
Oasis Juice has been a successful product brand in the city of Richmond for three years. The
company's natural, 100% fruit juices has grown in sales by 15% each year and is now available
in over 100 store outlets in the greater Richmond area. Oasis Juice will gross $580,000 in sales
this year. This was generated from a initial investment of $180,000.
Oasis Juice is planning to expand its operation to include distribution to stores within the entire
state. Owner funding and internally generated cash flow will enable most the expansion plan.
The company will also secure a $100,000 short-term loan. Sales projections for the next three
years are based on current sales success with the target customer base in Richmond. Initial
contacts have been completed with retail outlets throughout the state and the potential target
markets have been identified.
This plan will result in sales revenues growing to $1.2 million by Year 2.

Oasis Juice has built a reputation on offering the most delicious, nutritious, 100% natural juices
with no artificial flavors, colors or preservatives.
Oasis Juice had its humble beginnings in the kitchen of Tama Gardner. It was in her
kitchen that she and William Harris first created the fruit drinks that would soon become the
basis for Oasis Juice.
Initially, the fruit drinks were sold at Richmond's weekend craft fair. They proved to be so
popular that the partnership pooled their resources and began Oasis Juice. Over the next three
years, Oasis Juice's drinks, shakes, and smoothies have become one of the city's most visible
signs of a healthy life style.
Oasis Juice's operations have expanded dramatically over the past three years. Currently, the
company has a staff of ten in production, delivery, and sales.
The following table and chart illustrate the rapid sales success of Oasis Juice.

Oasis Juice
Co-owners, Tama Gardner and William Harris, currently manage the daily operation of Oasis
Juice. Tama and William have fifteen years of experience working in natural food stores. Tama
is responsible for production and distribution. William is the Sales Manager for Oasis Juice.
Tama Gardner was one of the founding members of the Mason Peak Natural Grocery, 4th and
Tyler. The grocery was established in 1992 by the non-profit NEDCO, the Neighborhood
Economic Development Corporation, and a number of concerned neighbors who wished to save
the historic Mason Peak Market from destruction. Tama started as a cashier and advanced to
the position of Store Manager in 1996. The grocery has grown into a community fixture under
her management.
William Harris ran the University's now defunct Natural Food Collective for three years before
the program was defunded. The small on-campus store provided natural food products to
student customers. Sales increased by 20% each year under his leadership. Unfortunately, the
state budget shortfall impacted the continued funding of the program. Prior to this position,
William worked as Buyer for Sunburst Natural Foods for four years.
The following table shows the project personnel plan for Oasis Juice.
