How about opening a convenience store?

Supermarkets and convenience stores belong to the retail industry that provides convenient and fast consumption services. Due to the low threshold, the industry development is in a state of flooding and vicious competition. Now entering the mature stage, even predators like Carrefour and Wal-Mart want to share a piece of convenience store format.

Perhaps, some friends are worried about the rapid development of e-commerce. Will it impact the sales of offline convenience stores? Can offline convenience stores still be done? Of course it can be done. Pure online e-commerce will hardly have much impact on convenience stores, while online to offline e-commerce, such as Zhongjiu Convenience, itself uses convenience stores as sales terminals. Therefore, at least in 10 years, the traditional format will not change greatly.

On the contrary, how to avoid the closure of their own supermarkets and convenience stores, site selection and daily operation are very critical. Next, teach the novices how to operate one by one.

Step 1: Locate yourself.

Many friends were confused before they entered the business. Is this industry good, how much to invest, whether to join or do it yourself, and how to choose the location?

Although the threshold of this industry is low, it is not easy to operate. If you are not good at interpersonal relationships, lazy and sloppy, and don't like hygiene, I advise you to stop here.

People often ask how much it costs to open a supermarket of several square meters. Who will answer this question is just a rough idea. Because the rent in each place is different, the transfer fee is different, the rent delivery method is different, the decoration is different and the positioning is different.

What I said is standard. It takes15-200,000 to open a 50-square-meter convenience store in a second-and third-tier city, and 100 square meter needs 200,000-300,000. As for multi-use, it can be opened in places with cheap rent, such as garages and utility rooms in large residential areas, or suburban villages. The house doesn't need to be decorated, even the cashier system and the surveillance anti-theft system are exempted.

Step 2: Site Selection

It is said that the success of a store depends on the choice of location, which is true. Nowadays, people, especially young people, are too lazy to take more steps, even if you are a little cheaper than others.

Since it is a convenience store, we should make a fuss about how to provide convenience. First of all, your location should be convenient. How do you choose the most convenient location? I'll summarize several lots for your reference. Not all lots are as accurate as I said, but there are still various factors.

Step 3: Sign the facade lease contract.

The location is good. The next step is to talk to the landlord about rent and sign a contract. There is no uniform standard in the market, how much rent and how to decide the contract are basically how you talk to the landlord. Let me briefly summarize here.

The general lease term is 3-5 years, some landlords will let you sign it year by year, some will remain unchanged during the lease contract period, and some will increase by percentage every year; There are three ways to pay the rent: one for one, one for three, one for six months, or 1 three years. I usually talk about procrastination, with a deposit of 2000 and rent paid for half a year. The contract must indicate that assignment is allowed.
