Tuffty Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Sell home-made smoothies and soups as well, these can be made from fruit and veg close to use by date. I imagine footfall and sales will be hard to predict in the early days, so a contingency plan like this will save you from binning over-stocked items that haven't sold.

anywebsite Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 You'll have to choose your location carefully and offer something unique (to that area). It'll be hard to compete with big supermarkets on quality, variety, freshness or price - they do it on a much larger scale that you can't match. What's your unique selling point? How will you convince people to make a separate trip to your shop to get their fruit & veg, rather than getting it with the rest of their shopping at the supermarket? Will it be organic? Local? Unusual varieties? Cheap? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smithy266 Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Do you like the idea of going to bed at 9pm, and getting up at 2am to get to the markets to buy the best possible produce, or do you think your stock will be delivered to you, and it will just be a 9 till 5 job?
