Discussing Cause 2 ( Out of Business ) -﹝revised﹞

  On September 5, Michael Williams opened a small music store selling compact discs, but on December 19, he closed his shop.  There were some reasons for which Williams’ shop was out of business.  The main reason was that the store was located next to lobby on the ground floor of Fairfax Apartment Building which was not only on a small side street just outside of the town, but also three miles away from a shopping center that has two large music stores.  Another reason was that most of the CDs were hip-hop and rock, but the residents of the Fairfax almost aged from 51 to 60; they might not be interested in hip-hop and rock.  The operating hours was another reason that resulted in the failure of the shop. It was open Monday to Friday from 1 to 5 p.m., but the number of people walking past the store was concentrated on the weekend. Finally, Mr. Williams would not accept checks or credit cards, which inconvenienced consumers too much.  It is for all these reasons and more that I think the business failed.
