I need a business plan for a grocery store. I'm looking for a business plan that includes everything to include a marketing plan, industry analysis, pro forma cash flows, projections, etc....

This business is going to be on the Island of Oahu, HI. It is a sole proprietor.

I'm not looking for a huge grocery store. I'm looking for something like a mom-and-pops type of convenience store that sells everything from groceries to frozen food to things that people need everyday.

I will pay the maximum points for this plan. If everything is included, it should be no less than 12 pages.

I will need this in a week. I will extend if needed, but no more than two weeks.
