Self Identified Competition
My first competitor is one that recently opened up called Smiling Cup located next to the Asian Center, Troung Son. They sell fruit drinks with boba. The owner opened this location next to his phone and computer repair shop to try and generate more income. My second competitor is Tea Time located on Rogers in the Stonewood Shopping Center. This is the owners first time opening a business. This location opened back in 2018. They sell milk teas and boba drinks. Lastly, I consider Saku Saku a competitor because the are the closet to a Asian Deli that we have. They sell boba drinks, sandwiches and some premade bakery items. First and foremost, the product that I will sell will not only be visually appealing, but also made with quality ingredients. I as well as my employees take pride in the quality of our food. Secondly, my competitors focus and push out food or drinks for people who already know what they are selling, so it maybe intimating for people to try new things. I am currently a menu based on Asian-American Fusion. Lastly, I 2Dang Good will be more then a cafe or a tea shop. I want 2Dang Good to give back to the people as well as being a valuable contributor to the community.
