Competition Analysis

The principals have done a complete analysis of ice cream parlours in Gulsan. And the analysis suggests that there are few major competitors like Move n Pick, Gelato, Baskin Robins, Anderson's and hotel Westin's ice cream parlour.

Move n Pick and hotel Westin is located just around the parlour Crème Glacee. These parlours sell branded ice creams but their range of flavour is limited and do not offer any other related items. These are not well-spaced decorated ice cream parlours where as Crème Glacee will be providing a very comfortable family environment with free Wi-Fi service and kid's zone. These parlours are also very costly. Therefore by offering food products at affordable prices, Creme Glacee will be price-competitive in this market with the motive of extracting a greater percentage of profit by selling more food products.

Gelato, Baskin Robin's also does not sell other related items and Andersons emphasizes on fast food items rather than ice creams at their parlour where as Crème Glacee offers bagels, Pastries, Chocolate Mouse, Cookies, Coffee, Cappuccino, Doughnuts, low fat and regular yogurt and even customers can enjoy watching their meals being made. These all services are offered by Crème Glacee at a comparatively reasonable price than its competitors.
