How to start a fruit business?

1. Choose carefully and match the appropriate varieties.

The fruit shop especially tests the boss's eyes when purchasing goods. It's no use just tasting oranges when you enter them. People who know the goods can see that this kind of citrus has little water, is it sweet or not, and there are many stones in it. Bananas rely on observing the appearance, mainly to see if the appearance is crushed. According to reports, mastering these tricks is the key to making money when purchasing goods.

A shopkeeper told me that among all kinds of fruits, ordinary fruits such as apples and oranges have low profits, while seasonal fruits such as mangoes, grapes and peaches have high profits. When purchasing goods, we should pay special attention to variety collocation. Ordinary fruit should be about 70%, and seasonal fruit should be 30%.

According to his estimation, fruit stalls run by general non-staple food stores can earn about 800 yuan every month. If they manage well, they may earn more than 65,438+0,000 yuan. Fruit specialty stores have different profits according to their size.

2. The size of the facade determines the kinds of fruits sold.

The threshold of fruit management seems not high, but the scale of operation is far from it. Some are fruit stalls on the street, some are jointly operated with non-staple food stores, and some are fruit specialty stores. Every summer, there are fruit trucks on the street, which is equivalent to a mobile fruit stall.

Different scales naturally make different kinds of fruits. Generally, stalls mainly sell ordinary fruits such as apples and oranges, which have a long shelf life and are not easy to deteriorate; Non-staple food stores will increase seasonal fruits such as bananas, watermelons and grapefruit; There are many kinds of fruit specialty stores. In addition to ordinary fruits, large-scale ones will also sell some imported fruits. Smaller ones will also have higher-priced fruits, such as mangoes and cantaloupes. Mobile fruit stalls operated on trucks mainly make relatively large seasonal fruits, such as pineapple, grapefruit, watermelon and cantaloupe.

According to the owner of a fruit shop, the larger the scale, the higher the cost-generally, the stall is only 100 yuan, while the cost of operating fruit in a grocery store is less than 2,000 yuan. If you open a fruit shop, the investment will be between 4,000 yuan and 65,438+10,000 yuan, depending on the variety of goods purchased.

The location of the store determines the quality of customers.

Understand the purchase channels: generally choose large wholesale markets.

For a fruit shop, it is very important to choose the location of the store. According to the reporter's observation, there are many fruit specialty stores near the hospital, and they are large in scale, mainly engaged in imported fruits; And near the residential area, it is also a place where fruit shops are concentrated.

Some fruit specialty stores pay special attention to "image". In order to make customers feel that fruits are neatly arranged and varied, many stores specially installed mirrors on the walls on both sides of the store, so that at first glance, all kinds of fruits are dazzling and eye-catching.

Store location is very important. If the financial strength is strong, it is best to choose the location of the golden business district. Finally, at the crossroads or near large department stores (supermarkets), the rent ranges from tens of thousands of yuan. If you want to open a small fruit shop, mainly selling fruits, it is recommended to choose a large community or a location near the hospital. The rent can be controlled within 20 thousand yuan.

If you intend to focus on the operation of the juice bar, it is recommended to locate it near the university, in the enterprise-intensive economic development zone.

Suggestions on the management of fresh fruits are supermarket management. Finally, shelves should refer to large supermarkets and set their own characteristics. For example, you should choose a batch of wicker or straw containers to hold fruit. According to the size of your store, the investment generally ranges from 2000 yuan to 10000 yuan.

It is suggested that the lighting should be designed to highlight the freshness of fruits. It is suggested to buy a few small atomizers to spray fruits to keep them fresh and prevent water loss. Simple spraying equipment, labor is tens of yuan, electric 100 yuan.

4. Adjust purchasing varieties according to customer types.

As for the management method, it is more flexible, but it must be noted that fruit is a seasonal commodity and a consumable. Don't buy too much at a time, and keep it properly. You can add a refrigerator to refrigerate fruits. Generally speaking, the suitable storage temperature of fruits is between 7℃ and 13℃, and some fruits need lower temperature, such as apples, grapes, peaches, plums and persimmons. But not every kind of fruit is suitable for keeping fresh in the refrigerator. Some fruits are naturally "afraid of cold", such as bananas, mangoes and papayas. , is a native product of the tropics. When they are put in the refrigerator, they will be "cold damaged", which will lead to spots on the peel or turn dark brown, destroying the quality and flavor of fruits.

Secondly, we should adjust flexibly according to the needs of surrounding customers, and we can also try fresh varieties appropriately; Finally, don't limit yourself to store operation. If you have the energy, you can also run around between units in need and do long-term cooperative business. Of course, you can also develop online stores to expand your business.

The first phase of fruit, mainly emphasizing low risk, is decorated with apples, oranges, citrus shops, and then bananas, mangoes, watermelons and other fruits, with a total investment of about 4,000 yuan. After that, you can maintain your business by eating more than 1000 yuan each time.
