I expect annual sales of sandwiches to be over 14000 as a minimum target to exceed. There are local and national companies of sandwich in this area. One of the national Company such as subway who have stores all over the country. I have identified subway is the main key business of my market or main my competitors. But they don't have much power in this market. I will prepare luxury product. It is not something that is needed by costumers. They will only perch a sandwich If they feel like it. A sandwich is only wanted if a person is hungry compared to a bus ride to work then a person has to take up this service.
