"An ultra-premium party supply & event space - with a bar!"
Our client had a great idea, but with the Amazonification of the world, it needed some real juice to make it worth the squeeze for investors.
We took it to the next level, and most importantly made it SIMPLE for an investor to say "I'm in."

5. People want unique experiences, but they’re hard to imagine when you’ve never
seen them before.
Balloons, balloon sculptures, and high-end disposable partyware have gone beyond kids’
parties.
They’ve become the centrepiece of weddings, and unique adult functions, parties and events.
The reason’s pretty simple: they look great.
Every balloon installation is unique and tailored to the space and occasion. It looks amazing
when a professional designer takes charge, and it’s something creative hosts can do on their
own, too.
Because it’s a relatively new thing, it can be hard to imagine what a great addition balloons
can make to your party. Outside of places like New York and LA, people are missing out.
Someone should create a beautiful, immersive environment right in the heart of Toronto’s
party district to show off what a difference balloons and high-end partyware can make.
Enter Party Bar

10. King Street West is the heart of Toronto’s retail, entertainment, food and
beverage boom. It’s also the site of Party Bar’s flagship store.
10
The King-Spadina district is an urban development success story. Former factories and
warehouses are evolving into high-rise, high-fashion party zones where Toronto’s most
passionate influencers love to live, work and play.
King West is home to some of the best entertainment and restaurants in the city.
It’s the heart of everything that makes Toronto one of the most liveable cites on earth
It’s only getting bigger and better.
Party Bar’s ground floor location is accessible by TTC, and is walking distance from Liberty
Village, Queen West, and other surrounding neighbourhoods. The location has easy parking, as
well space to stop a car for a quick pickup. It also has a back entrance, for ease of deliveries
and loading.
The space will be 1200 sq. ft, with capacity for 30-40 guests. We will secure it on a five-year
lease with an option to extend for an additional five-years.
Rents are more than justified by the growth in the developing area - which is expected to
have a residential population of 40K+ by 2020.

playful ways to incorporate colour
into your wardrobe.
18. Party Bar’s target demographic is the G-Lux Woman. Digitally connected, these women live #thegoodlife, sharing their experiences
for all to see.
18
Party Bar is designed to influence the influencers. G-Lux millennials are
trendsetters and socialites who explore the world with their youthful spirits.
They’re luxury-brand loyals who buy what they want; they don’t simply admire it.
G-Lux millennials’ in-store expectations are high; they expect some type of
unique value as a reward for shopping in store. These ladies are put on
influencer lists in order to ensure their attendance at special retail events and
locations.
G-Lux women spend much of their money on experiences and remain in the
circle of highly-influential friends who have the free-spirited attitude that
disposable income provides.
You’ll find them at private events supporting good causes, gallery openings,
fashion weeks, VIP pool parties at Coachella – and sipping a cocktail at Party Bar,
where they get inspired by our beautiful design ideas while they plan their next
party.
They’re involved in every aspect of an event – from the planning to the partying.
19. Party Bar’s biggest competitive advantage is its executive team’s ability to create a massive buzz.

WORD OF MOUTH
Party Bar is a buzzworthy business. Visual products +

everyone will increase foot traffic to Party Bar.

balloons are increasingly popular. Each one is unique. They’re ideal for large parties where the hosts want a piece that people will be

Traditional retailers in Toronto don’t specialize in partyware, nor can they demonstrate the amazing possibilities of customized balloon décor as we
do through our mixed-use retail, event space and cocktail lounge
Large spaces are expensive to rent and small spaces are hard to find
Our relatively small space is the ideal venue for an underserved niche: boutique events for 30-40 Pax

It may take longer than
anticipated to generate a
sustainable level of in-store sales
We will increase our targeted online marketing efforts
We will host additional instore parties based around special times of year and aimed at online
influencers
We will promote and emphasise our face-to-face consultancy services which are expected to create
repeat clients and customers
2 Permits may delay opening
Because it’s a mixed-use space, Party Bar can open for business before it has a liquor license, and
operate as a café
Additional permitting delays will cause us to emphasise our online retail and personal party
consultancy services
3 Margins may not be as expected
As with our high-end partyware, we can take control of our costs through direct sourcing of balloons
We cam increase volume, or -
We will focus on making our offerings into Veblen goods – goods for which demand increases as price
increases. Because we are a high-end retailer, increasing the retail price of our partyware could make it
more desirable.

The market may be slower to
accept our concept
We will continue to exploit the visual nature of our offering by increasing our visibility on influential
media such as Instagram, television, blogs, websites and style guides online and in magazines

Expenses and build out costs may
exceed budget
The retail and event space build and fitout has been carefully budgeted. We have set aside a
contingency to account for unforeseen expenses
