Introduction
A. | Name of the proposed business RL’s Customs |
B. | Name of the founder (or founders) |
C. | One paragraph summary of the businessRL’s Customs is a retail shop located in Salem, Indiana. My product focus is on tires, wheels, and aftermarket parts. Salem is a rather small town with a current population estimated around 6,172. It is also a fairly low-income town. The bonus factor in strategically placing my shop in this area is the acquaintances and long-term relationships I have already made with the inhabitants.
In rough economic times, such as these, it has become priority to distribute quality tires, wheels, and aftermarket parts at a price that most people can afford. That is exactly what I aim to do for the people of Salem, Indiana. Most people cannot afford brand new tires or parts, so I have taken the initiative to find gently-used tires and parts from a well-known distributor.

I am able to provide personal (one-on-one) service to every individual customer. I have a physical location where the customer can view and touch a product before choosing to purchase.
