On Saturday, March 18, 2017, Hoover’s
will bring a little bit of Austin to the
corner of Peachtree Street NE and 4th
in mid-town Atlanta. At 6th Sense, we
completely understand the well-known
“Austin vibe,” and we will successful-
ly bring it with us to the new location.
The communication strategies will stay
similar to the Austin location, while also
watching the new location grow it’s
own identity in the Atlanta community.
We strive to position Hoover’s as the
perfect, home-cooked meal from Tex-
as, while also adding an Atlanta flair.
Our budget of $75,000 during the pre-
launch and launch phase will be used to
ensure we complete the following
objectives:

About Hoovers:
Hoover’s is not your average Texas
home-style cooking establishment.
Hoover Alexander, the founder of
Hoover’s, realized that true Texas
cuisine should be fresh, and diverse
like Texas itself. Like the huge melting
pot that is Texas, Hoover’s is truly a
culinary melting pot, combining old
favorites with a true representation
of Texas cuisine throughout the great
state.
History:
This philosophy came from Hoover
Alexander’s experiences of grow-
ing up in Austin Texas, and working
on his family’s farm. Living in Austin,
Texas taught Hoover that Texas is
diverse, and it is the mixing of these
cultures that truly makes Texas great.
He then took this lesson and applied
it to his cuisine to create the unique
take on classic home-style Texas
cooking that is reflected in Hoover’s
menu today. It was also Hoover’s ex-
periences taken from working on his
family farm, that Hoover learned the
importance of fresh local ingredients,
and supporting local farmers, which
led to Hoover’s “farm-to-table” style
of buying from and fostering relation-
ships with local farmers to insure the
quality of the ingredients, and to sup-
port the local community.
Future:
With Hoover’s unique diverse take
on home-style cooking classics, and
its commitment to supporting local
farmers to provide the freshest ingre-
dients possible, Hoover’s will not only
excel in its new Atlanta location, but
enhance the community as well.
TARGET MARKET RATIONALETARGET MARKET RATIONALEAND

Our target market is known to be
extremely hard workers, but they are also
known to balance out that excruciating
workload with their play. Hoover’s with a
happy hour from 3-7, and with a danger
close proximity to our target market’s
offices, Hoover’s is the perfect place to let
loose right after a hard day of work.
Hoover’s target market in Atlanta consists of
professionals working in Midtown,
Atlanta’s commercial and financial hub, age
25-54, who are overworked and
underfed. Working in the commercial and
financial world takes time and energy. Some-
thing our target market has a finite amount
of, especially around their lunch break.
Hoover’s prime location, and
commitment to fresh home-style cooking is
the perfect place for the time crunched, ex-
hausted professional to relax, restore, and get
back to their office around the corner.

Peachtree Street NE is one of the busiest streets in Midtown Atlanta.
Distinct architecture, cultural attractions and an urban layout defines
Midtown. Being located in the midst of commercial and financial
Atlanta, it is apart of the well known “Midtown Mile”. The Midtown Mile
is a section of Peachtree Street NE between North Avenue NE and 15th
Street NE. It is one of the region’s defining urban districts in terms of
retail and rapid residential growth. Despite the season, the area
combines shopping, museums and attractions, dynamic festivals and
events along with various top-rated hotels and dining options. 1
Atlanta is the major commercial and transportation hub of southeast
US. The area’s central location gives residents efficient access to
interstate highways, a direct train service to the world’s busiest airport,
rail stations, regional express bus routes and local shuttles and trolleys.2
Along with Midtown’s abundant network of traveling, it is also a walk-
able, bicycle-friendly destination. Leading academic and research
institutions such as Georgia Tech and Emory University make Midtown
an innovation hub and a magnet for young professionals.3
