Considering a craft and jewelry studio in Concord, NC? The local research brings the site, investment and market references together: • Planning footprint: 1,500 sq ft. • Investment: $77,625 (planning target). • Recorded local references: Made With Love Pottery Loft, Paint Your Hearts Out, Rusty Paint Brush. Revenue reference: Board & Brush Creative Studio, 2023 annual average across 204 franchised studios. This is a disclosed brand sample used for a planning comparison, not local branch sales. The saved base revenue is 2 times the original monthly reference ($10,462); this uplift is an owner assumption, not a disclosed brand result. The report assumes a 50% operating margin with operating costs already included. • 90% revenue case: revenue $18,832/month, operating profit $9,416/month; 8.2-month modelled payback. • 100% revenue case: revenue $20,925/month, operating profit $10,462/month; 7.4-month modelled payback. • 110% revenue case: revenue $23,017/month, operating profit $11,509/month; 6.7-month modelled payback. Scenarios are planning estimates, not observed earnings. Financing, income taxes and the opening ramp-up are outside simplified recovery calculations. Test workshop seat utilisation, materials per booking and party demand; the saved revenue uplift needs local evidence. What would you check first: the site, the local market or the operating plan?
