Overview
Store 24 is a privately held convenience retailer store in New England and
has more than 75 stores located all throughout Massachusetts, New
Hampshire, Rhode Island and Connecticut. In order to further move ahead,
they decided to differentiate their retail outlets by creating an in-store
entertainment atmosphere by coming up with various themes and promotion
strategies. They finally came up with the ‘Ban Boredom’ strategy with a
focus on the store-level efficiency. But off late, the feedback from the
customers and the financial figures showed a stark difference in the
effectiveness of the Ban Boredom. While the company was doing well
financially, the customer feedback suggested that they just didn’t connect
with the services being offered under the Ban boredom scheme. The
customer rated the store highly majorly for its fast service and customer
value provision. This pointed out to only 2 possibilities
Regression Analysis
Here, we need to critically evaluate the performance system which the
management had brought out. The “Balanced Scorecard” system took in various
performance metrics as parameters and measured them at the store-level.
In order to evaluate which parameter had the biggest impact on the financial
performance of the stores and the company as a whole, we did a regression
analysis as to which parameter had the highest co-relation with the profitability
metric of the store.

Regression Analysis done for Demographic factors like Population
Looking at R square value generated from the regression analysis, we can say

Regression Analysis done for Employee Tenure and Crew and Manager Skills
Looking at R square value generated from the regression analysis, we can say
financial performance of all the stores of Store24, is affected by the above
measured factors.
But, from all the above analysis, we can say that the profitability although has a
high co-relation with the demographic factors is not completely dependent on them.
It’s also based on the crew skills, manager skills and other metrics.
Recommendations
Profit also has a significantly strong positive co-relation with
Number of Competitors
Hence, we could say that the management should focus more on improving the
crew and manager skills instead of focusing on the ‘Ban Boredom’ strategy.
