How to open a grocery store to purchase goods

The purchase channels for opening a grocery store include wholesale market, online purchase and direct supply from manufacturers.

Wholesale market 1

One of the main channels for grocery stores to purchase goods is the wholesale market. Wholesale markets are usually large markets or shopping malls, and thousands of suppliers enter here every day to provide all kinds of goods. Buying goods in the wholesale market has many advantages, the most important of which is to get more competitive prices and higher quality goods. Choosing a supplier with high credibility can ensure the quality of goods and get a certain discount at the same time.

2. Online purchasing

With the rapid development of e-commerce, more and more grocery stores begin to purchase online. As a global trading platform, the Internet can make it easier for grocery stores to find global suppliers and obtain more kinds of goods. At the same time, online procurement can greatly shorten the procurement cycle, so as to better meet the needs of customers and increase sales. It should be noted that before purchasing online, you must confirm the qualifications and reputation of suppliers to avoid being deceived.

3, factory direct supply

Unlike wholesale markets and online purchases, grocery stores can also get more affordable purchase prices by directly contacting manufacturers. Direct supply from manufacturers usually requires a certain demand, but the price can be more competitive. In addition, in the process of purchasing goods, you can also negotiate the price and quality issues directly with the manufacturers, and at the same time better understand the story behind the goods and increase the popularity and sales of the goods.

Matters needing attention in opening a grocery store

1. There is no doubt that location is very important for the operation of grocery stores. The vicinity of the commercial center has been occupied by brand convenience stores. We will choose a location close to residential areas to do business for community residents. The passenger flow is not only stable but also loyal.

2. The biggest difference between grocery stores and brand convenience stores is "human feelings". Grocery store owners and their customers often live in the same town and community, so they are relatively familiar with each other. Even if you meet anywhere outside the grocery store, you can say hello in the tone of old friends.

The freezer and cashier are crowded at the door. When customers open the freezer to choose drinks, the entrance to the store is blocked and other customers cannot enter or leave the store.

4. The shelf is placed in the middle of the shop, just like a cross section, which compresses the originally spacious shop space. And it's not convenient to bring goods. In fact, there is not much inventory in the store, so you can put the inventory in front of the store for display.
