  • Hello current/future entrepreneur! If you're wondering how much it cost me to open a grocery store back in 2020, I reveal everything in this video. Given that it was a few years ago and the crazy economy we are in, expect costs to me higher. I hope this video is helpful to you and I hope you subscribe for more business related videos in the future. :)

I'll just have to relearn the "system" but if I did it once I don't see why it would be difficult to do it again. I would maybe franchise one of the two businesses that I have right now though, that way I have a solid base. :)

    Lol . I had to laugh at the suggestion of having store shelves made from *stainless*. Stainless steel is one of the most expensive metals to make shelving from.
    Yes, buy second hand fixtures and shelves. But know that *any* shelves need to be cleaned regularly so it does not collect dust.

    I own one of those its so hard business and takes lots of money. Before you even ear a buck you need to invest sonl much and working with food is hard due to exp dates.
    And than profit is so so considering amount of time and effort it take to open and maintain. I tell you it will be your job thats about it. I would suggest opening another type of business.

    • @Ree2mz
      @Ree2mz  Před 19 dny

      I agree with you - it's not an easy business at all. However, it's a business in need. It's really volume dependant. I opened other businesses that are more profitable but it requires a lot of marketing which is expensive, because those businesses are not needs, but wants.
