Business Plan

Preston Ruby has built a career of providing the kind of scheduled maintenance and
emergency repairs that a facility like Throwback is going to need. With more than 25 years
of experience in mechanical and electrical support of grocery store, truck, and warehouse
needs, Preston will be an invaluable asset that will save Throwback lost revenue from
machine downtime and expensive maintenance that would normally require a vendor visit.

Gaps
While we believe we have an effective team to manage and maintain Throwback Family
Fun, we realize that there are areas of the business in which we have little to no experience.
Birthday parties represent 30% or more of the revenue for most successful roller skating
rinks. We plan to hire Jennie Bartsch, a Casa Grande resident with significant party-
planning experience, to schedule, sell, manage and deliver birthday parties for the roller
skating, laser tag, and bowling sides of the business.
As additional gaps in experience or knowledge are identified, they will be rectified through
human resources, such as a new hire, an outside consultant, or education through IAAPA
or another expert source.
