What is the origin and significance of the name of grocery store?

Food in the grocery store refers to food, and miscellaneous refers to daily necessities.

In ancient times, two people opened a grocery store and a grocery store. At that time, there was only one store for rent. Both of them saw it at the same time and wanted to rent it themselves. They argued endlessly and finally had a dispute with the government. In order to settle the dispute, the county magistrate sentenced them to rent together, one for each side. In order not to let them quarrel over the name of the store, they decided to call this store "grocery store", which is the origin of the grocery store.

The significance of the grocery store:

First, convenience;

For a bag of salt, a bottle of beer and a can of oil, people don't go far, but go to big shopping malls and supermarkets to buy everything. At present, some grocery stores also provide some additional convenience services, such as delivering newspapers and charging mobile phones.

Second, people are familiar.

Grocery store owners are familiar with the faces of most residents and have certain emotional factors, which are beyond the reach of other businesses.

Extended data

Grocery stores can try the following business methods:

Grocery stores should play convenience cards. In view of the weakness that chain stores can't provide door-to-door service for small purchases, the measures of free door-to-door delivery and delivery telephone number of grocery stores are widely publicized throughout the residential area, and it is widely announced that no matter whether it is a bag of soy sauce, vinegar, salt, a box of cigarettes or a bottle of beer, the store will deliver it to the door as soon as it makes a phone call.

Specific publicity measures can be taken in the following ways:

1, beautifully printed business card, which indicates the business scope, delivery phone number, store address, contact person and other contents of the store. Give one to each household in the community in case residents need to contact;

2. Contact the neighborhood Committee, publicize the convenience measures of the store through the news on the community bulletin board, and improve the popularity through the authoritative recommendation of the neighborhood Committee;

3. Write the service measures and delivery telephone number at the door of the store in the form of bulletin board and make it widely known.

The reason why grocery stores can carry out valet shopping and door-to-door delivery is because both buyers and sellers live in the same community and everyone bows their heads. Even children know the owner of the grocery store. There is no such relationship in big shopping malls and supermarkets. If you want to deliver goods to your door, children or old people may not even dare to open the door when they see strangers knocking at the door.
