VJENTWONTH AVENUE CHICAGO. ILL. 60516 'A DIRECT FACTORY BRANCH" Mr. Charles A. Willis Manager Elk Grove Village Village of Elk Grove Vill:age,lll. Dear Mr. Willis: (312) 225-5405 August 26, 1970 We would like to take this opportunity to explain in greater detail the proposed Branch operation of Mack Trucks, Inc.,, in Elk Grove Village. Our business is divided into four (14) major areas which are: 1. New Trucks -- We will have seven (7) salesmen that cover Kane, DuPage, Lake and Northern Cool: Counties. In 1.969 we sold 220 trucks in this area and we forecast in excess of 300 in 1971, if we can establish in the proposed location at 2000 Elmhurst Road. The nature of our business is such that the salesmen almost always calls on the customer at his place of business. We sell capital equipment which usually costs in excess of $20,000. to businessmen. Therefore our business does not lend itself to walk-in trade such as the passenger car and light-duty truck business. We will have no showroom or Mass Media ad- vertising which are also associated with the passenger car industry. Our potential market is Limited so in short, "we go where the market is". 2. Parts - As I explained at the August 25th Board Meeting, our parts sales are primarily limited to Mack owners and these customers are serviced by our parts delivery trucks in most instances. Again this in the true sense is not a consumer retail operation in that we would not have the public coming in to purchase parts. We estimate our parts sales in 1971 to be $675,000. 3• Service - Our service center will be used primarily to prepare new trucks for delivery, recondition used trucks and provide warranty repairs. There will`be some customer work on Mack Trucks, but the majority of our customers have their own service facilities. 4. Used Trucks - We have approximately two (2) trades for every three neer trucks sold and the average price is in excess of $5,000.00. A good percentage of our trades are wholesaled and the more expensive ones are reconditioned and sold for as much as $10,000. to $12,000. A:?t Cont' d . PaF_;e 2 EILIILT LIKE ! ?'j _JI P. MACK Ti'.I��K Mr. Charles A. Willis Manager Elk Grove Village - 2,'- August 26, 1970 Again most of these sales are made at the customer's place of business and not at the Branch location. Because the nature of our business is such as I have outlined, I feel that we are not in the retail business as generally defined. I would venture a guess that you have wholesalers or distributors and manufacturing firms in the industrial park with more customers than vie anticipate serving from the new location because of the limited market. When our Board of Directors approved the appropriation for this new location we had to supply them with a five (5) year sales projection. We conservatively estimated 1975 sales at $12,550,000. (This is $5,000,000. over 1971's forecast). You can see that we plan to grovi in the future and vie believe that as a member of your community we will be an asset to your continued growth. Transportation is an important part in industrial site location. You have provided for railroads, you are next to O'Hare Field and with a Motor Truck Nanufacturer's Branch Operation within Elk Grove Village you will have transportation facilities second -to -none.
