Goldunits

Goldunits is a small business owned by 1xuo which provides high end services like jewellery, clothing and plants. Most stores are in the Central Zone of OurCity. This is a rapidly expanding company with new shops opening every two months. With Goldsmiths being the main division, Golds and Goldgardeners both make up their unique category of items and profits. As of the 26th June 2021, a total of £502,000 has been made with 7 stores across the city.

In June 2021, Goldunits relocated to Cannonbury as the area could hold the HQ. The 15 floor tower is enough room for 4 office spaces per business and a cafe on the 6th floor. This has perfect transport links to the city, being near Wharf.

In September 2021, Goldunits and Golds partnered with Stagecoach Ourcity with advertised buses and 2 Golds liveries painted onto 2 Enviro 200 buses.

As part of a £7m scheme to increase sales, their flagship store near Belgravia Square was announced, which provided 3 floors including fragrances, affordable and highend clothing, a small gardening section, a dedicated cafe, new technology and their specialist designs in the jewellery sector. This combined all of Goldunit's shops and more into one place. It was announced in December 2022 and expected to open within January 2023.

## Goldsmiths

Goldsmiths is the larger company of the Goldunits family with 3 stores in The Plaza at Owens Mill, Westfields Marks Cross Crouch End and a planned one in the West End. It was founded in April 2020 along with the Goldunits company. This sells the best jewellery with brands such as Rolex, Omega and Patek Filippe. As well as luxury watches, Goldsmiths also sells affordable gold, emerald and sapphire. This has made the most profit out of all divisions coming in at £275,000. Goldsmiths works in close relation with Golds as their top brand clothes are on display as some stores.

## Golds

Golds is the middle sized company of the Goldunits family with 4 stores in The Mall at Oakley Wharf, Grand Central Shopping Centre, Marks X Station and Owens Mill Fashion Quarter. It was founded in August 1999 as GoldsClothing & Co. but was acquired by Goldunits in July 2020. Today it sells clothing for any occasion such as formalwear, loungewear and shoes. This has made £207,000 since the takeover and has plans to expand into Belgravia.

## Goldgardeners

Goldgardeners is a new company trading under Goldunits being founded in May 2021. This is to provide people in the outer city area with a garden store and has little shops in the central zone. Since this is a smaller brand for now, there are no plans to expand this business further. Since the opening in May, it has made roughly £5,000. New plans are revealed to expand into Belgravia to provide gardening equipment to people further out of the city. This will be followed by a garden centre further out providing a large place to buy different gardening tools and plants.

Due to the growing cost of living crisis in October 2022, they received massive cuts resulting in a loss in physical stock. This, in turn, dropped sales drastically resulting in a store closing by the end of the year.

## Golds Cafe

Golds Cafe was introduced in March 2022 as a business deal with VioWorks and iSell for their office building in Riverside. This was to provide a nice place to work as well as provide food and drink to the office workers in the reception on floor 1. Statistics show that it is estimated to bring in about £6,000 a month at the current location. Another is expected to go at the Goldunits HQ in Cannonbury by April 2023.
