Opportunity

A leasing opportunity in Atlanta, Georgia’s Perimeter Mall currently exist. Through cultivating a relationship with current store owner Jakkrit Tuanphakedee, Jakkrit has offered Dominique to take over his lease in the retail outlet. The store sits perched on Perimeter Mall’s second floor next door to Bloomingdales and Anthropology. On the same wing as popular retail establishments Nordstrom, Metro Park, Lucky Brand, Zara, and Apple who all bring foot traffic of our ideal customer towards current retailer Adrenaline. Adrenaline’s lease is up for resigning at the end of April 2010, with the succession of Dom and Wisdom II, Inc. the retail store will operate and flourish under a new name and energy.

“Small opportunities are often the beginning of great enterprises.” ~Demosthenes

Page 17: Wisdom 2 Inc. Wisdom & Athena

Solution 2 Micro Loan

In order to take over as the tenant we are asked to pay in the amount of $15,000.00.

$15,000.00 would include two months rent March and April in the amount of $3,800.00/mo totaling $7,600.00.

The remaining $7,400 would go towards securing 47 Wall mounted hanger racks, 10 tables, 7 racks, a security system and cash register.

The $7,400 also secures Adrenaline’s current inventory which consist of approximately 2,000 plus garments. Adrenalines existing inventory will go on sale at $10-15, or 2

for $25 (potential revenue of $20,000) Remaining apparel from the liquidation sale will be sold to

other retail outlets at a generous wholesale price. Apparel left from liquidation and wholesale efforts will be sold

to retailers such as Plato’s Closet and Rag-O-Rama who purchase used clothing at $2.50-5.00 per unit.

Upon flushing out old inventory Wisdom II will bring in several notable and emerging clothing brands in on a no cost up front consignment basis. Wisdom II, Inc will also carry popular brands such as LRG, Blac Label, Mek Denim, 10 Deep, and Obey to name a few.

Retail Niche Wisdom II, Inc.’s ideal flagship store

incorporates various up sell strategies. Such as a multi-cultural barbershop. Housing 4-5 barber chairs. The weekly rent on the chairs would start at 150 a week (approximately $2,400/mo.). In turn supplementing the rent on top of retail sales. The customer lounge area will cater to their waiting time with arcade games and complimentary beverages. This will make the store ideal for numerous walks of life.

For the person who never has enough time in the day, we are a true one stop shop. Patrons may walk in with a bad hair day and wardrobe malfunction and walk out shining like a brand new penny freshly shaved with the latest attire.

The woman who loves to multi task may let her child’s hair be cut while she walks next door to shop for work clothes.

The male who dreads going to the mall with his significant other has the ability to get freshly groomed and watch the game.

We may co-op & cross market with existing stores in the mall such as tuxedo shop where we may offer groomsmen & prom packages. Or electronic boutique where customers may test out the latest video games.
