4.2.2 Main Competitors
Snow Shack
Strengths: The main strength of Snow Shack is that it is the only business in El Centro that caters to the sno-cone market. It also has very reasonable prices.
Weaknesses: The primary weakness of Snow Shack is that it does not sell shave ice but rather sno-cones made from very coarse ice. Syrups are also not of good quality.
Garcia's Market
Strengths: The main strength of sno-cones sold by Garcia's Market is their low price of $1.00 and the convenience to the shopper in buying sno-cones while doing their shopping.
Weaknesses: The main weakness of sno-cones sold by Garcia's Market is that they do not sell quality syrups and prefer to sell the more inexpensive brand with lower quality taste.
Wal-Mart
Strengths: Main strength of sno-cones sold by Wal-Mart is the convenience to the shopper and low price.
Weaknesses: Wal-Mart's weakness, like Garcia's Market, is that they do not sell quality syrups. Also, the sno-cone business is not their primary focus or product.
