This business has now one branch and is now operating only in East London. However, the owners of the “Peace Essentials” are thinking to extend its branches and operations in other areas of London and outside London, mainly in Birmingham (Rahman, 2017). This is a private limited company. This was established in 2008 by two partners. “Peace Essentials” has now 8 dedicated and experienced staff who are serving about 2500 customers every week. This business is using a hierarchical business structure, whereas the director/owner makes all of the decisions that are followed by the managers and employees. The target customers of “Peace Essentials are all kinds of Muslim customers including children, men, women.

The mission of Pease Essentials is to ensure quality products at reasonable prices and provide excellent customers to retain the existing customers and attract a new customer base (Ullah, 2017).

1.2.3 Positioning

Kotler et al. (2014) said the market position of a business is the technique of defining the target point where the business wants to reach in the competitive marketplace. The positioning map for the Peace Essentials is shown in the diagram below:

In January 2017, it is indicated that Peace Essentials is providing poor customer service and a range of products but high product prices. Thus, its target is to increase product range by June 2017 and improve customer services by providing attractive promotional offers by December 2017.

1.2.4 Market size

The market size for the Peace Essentials is wide (Ullah, 2017). This is because it is dramatically growing up the Muslims across the world, mainly in London and other parts of the UK. Therefore, there is high potential and opportunities for Peace Essentials to extend and maximize its business, retain its customers, attract more customer bases, and sustain in the market with competitive advantages. In a word, the market is of Peace Essentials is being bigger day by day (Hendriksz, 2016).
