BUSINESS DESCRIPTION
Ventures, a nonalcohol nightclub, will cater to the 15- to 20-year-old age group. Ventures will be 7,000-8,000 square feet, accommodating around 650-700 people.
INTRODUCTION
During the past ten years, a new concept has been blazing the trails. Nonalcohol nightclubs have been popping up throughout the United States, as well as in other parts of the world. The majority of these nightclubs cater to teenagers by giving them a high-energy place where they can socialize and dance to the hottest Top 40 hits. In some locations, these clubs constitute the only entertainment for this age group.
Ventures, a nonalcohol nightclub, will cater to the 15- to 20-year-old age group in Bates County and these surrounding counties: Cass, Johnson, Henry, Hickory, St. Clair, and Vernon. Ventures will be the only nightclub catering to this age group in the Bates area. Ventures' goal is to furnish new answers to this age group's complaints of "nothing to do and nowhere to go." Instead of serving alcohol, Ventures will boast a menu of sodas, shakes, and several speciality drinks consisting of a variety of fruit juices and syrups.
ORGANIZATIONAL FORM
Ventures will be a family-owned business organized as a limited liability company. The principal owners will be David and Mary Jensen. Mary Jensen will be the decisionmaking partner while David Jensen will be a silent partner. The ownership split will be 60 percent for Mary Jensen and 40 percent for David Jensen. This organization will provide the owners the liability protections of a corporation and the flexibility and tax advantages of a partnership entity.
MARKETING
Target Market
Ventures' target market consists of individuals between the ages of 15-20 who listen to Top 40 radio stations and live within an hour's drive from Rockville, Missouri. According to recent research, this age group has the "time,

    Underage students are not going to stop drinking even if they aren't allowed in the bars (Jeffrey Patch 2/12/03). Most bars provide at least reasonable assurance that all customers will be drinking safely with staff members paid to keep patrons in line and police officers an earshot away (DI Editorial Board 9/25/06). Downtown establishments monitor the patrons' alcohol intake, use careful wristband systems, employ sober staff, and pay heavy fines if found to be serving to minors (Lindsay Schutte 10/1/04). Police records show that 93 percent of underage drinkers cited for possession of alcohol were ticketed at the bars (Drew Kerr & Nick Peterson 12/9/05). Irresponsible and underage consumers are hit where it hurts the most, their wallets, while responsible users are free from expensive tickets and fines. "We are not after underage drinking but rather binge drinking," said City Council member Connie Champion. "It is about the abuse of alcohol, not the consumption" (Jessica Seveska 10/19/04). Enacting a 21-ordinance in…

    Daily media and conversation is often about the consumption of alcohol. Alcohol is part of the Australian culture whether we like this or not. It is only natural that teenagers and young adults choose to drink early; to change the legal drinking age is to disregard our traditions and the Australian culture. Every teenager will tell you that an 18th birthday celebration is a staple in every young adult’s life; this is when they will experience their first ‘legal’ alcoholic beverage. Certain people will agree to the legal drinking age being lifted; this is mostly due to adults whom it does not effect or those who have made their judgments upon people such as Corey Delaney, a ‘imperceptive party boy’ who made his 15 minutes of fame by hosting an out of control under-age drinking ‘house party’, which caused over $20,000 worth of damage. Some youths did label this young teen as a male protagonist, but most commented that he was a '…

Other college students are eager to help their young, new friends out by taking them for a trip to the liquor store.

    “Plastered, Hammered, Wasted, Drunk, Lifted.. These are all terms my friends use on any given Friday or Saturday night to ask if I want to party for the weekend! When we do get to parties, kids are doing keg stands (Where someone holds your legs up in the air, you grab the keg with both hands, and someone else feeds your beer through the hose upside down.) We play quarters, beer pong, and flip cup. The drinking games are endless as in the alcohol available to teens. “Hey Ryan, let’s go out tonight, find a few girls, and throwback a few brewskies!” Temptation to drink alcohol as a minor is everywhere! Some corner stores sell it to us, older brothers and sisters get it for us, or we can just wait for someone who looks cool to go in and buy it for us.…

    It is vital that we keep up to date with what is going on around us. This means finding out the latest trends, discovering what people like and what makes them go back. We must find out what makes them ‘tick’ and what makes them excited. We must find out their values and what they believe in. For example in this point of time, our world is in the process of changing and helping out the environment, so people may choose to pick a particular bar to socialise for more of an eco friendly reason, if that is the case. However from the article chosen “Little smitten-small bars winning women over” by Rachel Olding, July 9, 2010, states that the social trends are now moving towards smaller bars instead of larger establishments such as the Ivy and the Establishment. There are a number of reasons for why this is happening. The article states that a majority of women enjoy a drink after work at the Grasshopper Bar on Temperance Lane (the bar which our company would like to take over) without being hassled by drunken men. Women are ditching pubs and night clubs for small bars. They state that they feel safer and more civilised. They also believed that smaller bars have a friendly vibe, and it should be more about the company you’re with, nice drinks and food without…

    Niche marketing is a concept that engages a specific target market; youth from 18 to 30 is a specific market segment. Appealing to this niche market varies depending on many factors: available activities, affordability, location, benefits, and popularity. The younger generation is a continuously growing market that has huge potential to integrate with the hospitality industry. It is apparent when observing how the hospitality industry focuses on appealing to the younger generation that this is an increasingly growing market segment. Through hotels, events, nightclubs, and restaurants we can see how youth is so applicable to the hospitality industry. Considering that the recent “trends” revolve around today’s youth we can assume that many businesses that are growing in hospitality will try to relate their goals to attract the younger generation. In general 18 to 30 year olds that go out will typically enjoy socializing. Through this nature, these people will generate a growing interest in social activities. We observe how the youth of today will travel, interact, and involve themselves with society. The hospitality industry coordinates with many different aspects of the world we live in. Looking at the dynamic aspect of this business it is clear that there are many avenues that the youth market ranging from 18 to 30” can be pursued.…
