The Retail Health Audit
A focused, two-week review of your merchandising, pricing, inventory turns, and margin leaks — delivered as a prioritized action plan you can start using immediately, with or without further help. Run it self-guided from your own store, or have us walk the floor with you in person.
What's included
A full-shop review, not a surface-level checklist.
The Audit looks at where your store is actually losing money and attention — then hands you a plan ranked by impact and effort.
Merchandising review
How your floor, fixtures, and product mix are performing against what's actually selling.
Pricing review
Where prices are leaving margin on the table or quietly pushing customers to competitors.
Inventory turn analysis
Which categories are tying up cash in overstock, and which are losing sales to understock.
Margin leak review
The quiet costs — shrink, markdowns, vendor terms — that erode profit without showing up on a single line item.
The process
Two weeks, two clear phases.
Data review & store walkthrough call
We review your sales, inventory, and pricing data, then walk through your store together — over video for a self-guided audit, or in person on your floor if you booked the on-site option — to see how it actually runs day to day.
Action plan delivery & review call
You get a prioritized, written action plan ranked by impact and effort, plus a live call to walk through it and answer questions.
Who it's for
Built for owner-operators who want clarity before they commit further.
You know something's off in your margin or inventory, but you don't have the time or outside eye to diagnose it yourself.
You want a clear, prioritized plan before deciding whether to invest in deeper implementation help.
You're doing $400K–$2M in annual revenue and run your store with a small, hands-on team.
You'd rather implement fixes yourself with your existing team than hand the business to an outsider.

Questions
Audit FAQ
A written, prioritized action plan covering merchandising, pricing, inventory turns, and margin leaks — ranked by impact and effort, plus a live review call to walk through it together.
For the self-guided audit, the full $1,500 is paid upfront to secure your engagement start date — one payment, no balance due later. For an on-site audit, a 50% deposit of $1,750 books your date and the balance is due on the day of the visit. Any travel costs are quoted in writing and approved by you before the visit is booked.
Nothing at all if your store is within 50 miles of Bayonne, New Jersey. Beyond that, travel is billed at cost with receipts — mileage at the current IRS rate of 76¢/mile or coach airfare, parking and tolls, one hotel night if the drive is over 150 miles, and meals capped at $60 a day. You get the full estimate in writing and approve it before anything is booked, so there is never a surprise invoice. Visiting more than one location on the same trip is $1,200 per additional store. Need to move your date? No charge with 7 days’ notice.
The findings and the action plan are the same either way. Choose self-guided if you have about 45 minutes to walk your own store with our checklist and would rather keep the cost down. Choose on-site if you would rather keep serving customers while we do the walking, or if you want the four-pillar scorecard rated by someone standing in the store rather than from the photos you send. If you go on site and then sign a 90-Day Profit Sprint within 30 days, $1,500 of the audit fee comes off the Sprint.
No. The Audit stands on its own — you're free to implement the plan yourself. Many clients choose the 90-Day Profit Sprint afterward for hands-on implementation help, but it's never required.
