From BBQfun business plan FY 2016–17
About BBQfun
BBQfun was established in 2013 by current CEO, Pat Mifsud. BBQfun offers an
extensive product range, incorporating both local and imported goods.
Since 2014, the increasingly competitive retail environment, technological change,
changes in consumer buying patterns and consumer confidence has led to
disappointing sales. However, BBQfun intends to return to healthy sales of $11 million
in 2016 through building on its organisational strengths, through targeted marketing
strategies aimed at key segments and through exploiting marketing opportunities.
Currently, BBQfun operates two stores, one in Brisbane (Kenmore), and one on the
Gold Coast.
BBQfun is seeking business and marketing opportunities that could lead to interstate
or national expansion if viable and scalable.
