Food retail
Butcher shops, produce markets, convenience markets and wine and spirits shops live on repeat neighborhood purchases. Customers come back every week when they find fair prices, variety and fresh products, and switch stores quickly when they don't.
The key decision is inventory: what to buy, how much and how often, without running out or losing stock that sits or expires. Each case below shows what to validate in location, suppliers and turnover before you invest.
