   Stevens is a newsagent and is located on Neville Parade. Neville Parade is a small street of around 9 or 10 small businesses such as a pharmacy and butchers. It is located here because it is convenient for customers. It is nearby houses and many people who would not usually bring their custom here pass the shop on the way to various nearby things such as a school, a nursing home, a church, and tanning booths.
  Stevens are also located in this area because the costs of premises are lower than those in the centre of the town centre. Stevens do not have supplies delivered to their store, and therefore do not need to have easy to access transport links, although Steven can quickly and easily get to the place where he buys his stock from.

   Stevens attract customers of all ages for example older people come in to collect their pension, Couples pop in to put the lotto on, and children often come in to but sweets and chocolate.

   Three local competitors are: the Co-op, which sells everything that Stevens sells and more, and it is located just a few steps away from Stevens at the Neville parade site. Garages can also be classed as competitors because they also sell everything that Stevens do, and more and more people are using cars now so it could be more convenient to pop in while on the road. There are also numerous shops in the town centre that offer the same, if not better services.

   The business has not been affected by economic conditions e.g. interest rates, exchange rates, price of raw materials etc., Although if the price of raw material were to go up, the price of the product would go up therefore resulting in a price increase in the shop.

   There are no environmental constraints on the business. It does not produce any harmful gases, noise, or damage to the earth.

   

   Stevens compete with its main competitors by having low prices, a higher quality and selection of goods and local friendly staff.
