We wanted to know more about our demographic, specifically University of Maryland students, so we conducted a survey asking exactly 150 students. A copy of the survey is located in section 1.8 of the appendix. The questions generally asked students about their workout plan and eating habits. We gave the survey papers to students near the UMD Stamp building and at the Eppley Recreation Center and only got responses from 107 students. A lot of the students work out daily with 60% of the students we surveyed work out at least three – four times a week. Thirty-five University of Maryland students said protein shakes are their main source of protein while 45 said meat was their main source. The data lets us know the market for selling protein shakes is available to thrive in College Park. We were able to learn that 67% of students will work out between the hours of 5:00-6:00 PM and 40% will have their last meal at 8 PM. Because of this, we know the ideal time to close the store and when to expect the heaviest traffic of customers. Target Market The Nutrient Factory will be located at 9604 Baltimore Ave College Park, MD 20740 because it is in walking distance from the University of Maryland, College Park. 90.8% (18,623 people out of 20,517 residents) of school-aged residents in College Park, Maryland are college students or graduate students; there is a total of 27,056 undergraduate students at the University of Maryland (US Census Bureau).

Our Congress consists of the Senate and House of Representatives. Every state has two Senators and as many House of Representatives as there are for the amount of people in them. For the state of North Carolina our two Senators are Richard Burr and Thom Tillis.

It's located on a quiet residential street right on the…

Although the Royal Navy had the US Navy trapped, it wasn’t able to do much about the clipper ships that could easily outrun their ships. Baltimore earned the ire of Britain and Admiral Cockburn and Admiral Cochrane were “eager to make a lesson out of Baltimore.” The plan was to sack the city and possibly even reduce it to ashes, believing that the destruction of such an important city…
