BrickMaster Express | Application Preview
BrickMaster Express is seeking government grant funding to purchase a custom-upfitted truck exclusively for their operations. This new vehicle aims to attract attention and generate interest in the business as it travels to various events.
The business plan involves proving the viability of the first truck and expanding by franchising across the United States within three years, targeting a minimum of two trucks per state.
A major reason for supporting this funding is BrickMaster Express's unique position in the market. The company is a "Certified Store Partner" with LEGO, enabling them to purchase LEGO products at wholesale prices. They will operate as the first mobile LEGO vendor, similar to a food truck concept but focusing on LEGO merchandise. The truck will feature a vibrant LEGO-themed wrap, enhancing its visibility at events and on the road.
In terms of competition, BrickMaster Express faces minimal direct competition, especially in North Carolina, where there are only three official LEGO stores. The company plans to heavily promote their brand through social media and event promotions, ensuring they stand out in the marketplace.
Overall, BrickMaster Express considers itself a unique venture in the mobile retail space, with no existing competitors offering a similar service.

Business Plan
We plan on proving the success of our first truck, and within 3 years franchise the business throughout the US. Our feeling is there can be a minumum of two trucks per state. We are unique. We have received the distinction of "Certified Store Partner" from LEGO, allowing us to purchase LEGO at wholesale pricing. We are to be the first and only mobile LEGO vendor. We will travel throughout the State attending fairs and local events bringing LEGO to the masses. Think food truck, but LEGO instead of food. We will carry unique items only available on the BrickMaster Express. The truck will be wrapped in LEGO motiff and will garner attention on the road as well as at events when parked.
-
Self Identified Competition
We have no real direct competition. There are only three offical LEGO stores in North Carolina. When we attend events there should be no direct competition. We will advertise heavily through social media as well as through the events advertisments. Again, we are the Unicorn. There is nobody else doing what we want to do.
