More and more fruit stores in residential areas can recover their costs

In summer, a large number of fruits such as watermelons and peaches are on the market. I wonder if you have found that beside us, fruit stores of all sizes are springing up like mushrooms after a spring rain, appearing in the streets and alleys of the island city, making the fruit retail market a "red sea" of fierce competition. Then, what is the reason behind this? Come and see the reporter's interview.

In a fruit store near Yinchuan Road, the reporter saw that the display cabinet was full of seasonal fruits, beside which there were many imported fruits. This fruit store is not only close to the main road, but also has more than ten residential districts around it. There are tens of thousands of permanent residents nearby. Wei Haitao, the shopkeeper, said he was officially optimistic about the market potential of the fruit store, which opened at the beginning of this year. Over the past few months, the number of customers in the stores has continued to increase, and the cost of investment has been basically recovered.

Because of its low threshold and easy access, this fruit store has been blooming all over the island city in recent years. However, piles of fruit stores also make the competition in the fruit retail market more and more fierce. In addition to price competition, many fruit stores have done their best in service. This fruit chain store near Jinsong 7th Road has opened a special recreational area where consumers can squeeze juice free of charge after purchasing fruits.

In addition to the juice squeezed now, some fruit stores also offer services such as slicing, take-out and distribution. However, while bringing convenience to consumers, some fruit stores are also facing considerable pressure in the process of operation, such as high rent costs, the vulnerability of summer fruits and other issues, which have brought considerable challenges to daily operation. Fruit retail market is undoubtedly huge, but in the face of fierce competition and practical difficulties in operation, will fruit stores become the mainstream channel of fruit sales in the future? How can fruit stores reduce operating costs and go further?

Yuan Ming, Marketing Manager of Qingdao Dongfang Dingxin Agricultural and By-product Trading Center: Now many fruit chains (enterprises) have begun to sign large-scale trading contracts with fruit distributors and distributors of origin. Through the sub-packaging of their warehouses, they have been allocated to their stores to reduce losses and operations to a greater extent. Cost, let fruit prices gradually reduce to meet the needs of different consumers. The emergence of

fruit stores in piles undoubtedly provides consumers with more choices, but how to stand out among many fruit stores and be favored by consumers continuously, I am afraid it is necessary for businessmen to use their brains more and play their own special brands.
