The new store design is very appealing to people because it has a lot more to offer, the feedback has been so positive that they have made plans to only build Gen 3 stores from now on. Instead of demolishing all of their old "Gen 2" stores they are going to make a hybrid store through renovating it. They are almost about to start this process in the division that I work in. They are going to take out a portion of the current freezers and a wall cooler to allow room to build a full service counter in what will be known as a "Gen 2.5".

As I wanted to have a wider audience as possible, I chose to have two 30 second TV commercial, at 8am and 7pm on – as now many people tune into TV at breakfast time, watching a cereal commercial could prompt them to buy some for the following mornings, and 7pm is prime time TV and people in their millions do tune in at that time.

The original business would help him achieve his goal of providing Canadians a wonderful
