Can you make money by opening a supermarket in rural areas?

Hello everyone, I am Xiaoliang who loves rural life. Welcome to share interesting things about the countryside with you

It is actually possible to make money by opening a supermarket in the countryside. Regarding the investment costs , it depends on the size. A general canteen can be purchased for 50,000 to 60,000 yuan. For a small supermarket, with decoration, around 100,000 yuan is not a big problem. Of course, the larger the scale, the greater the cost investment.

Competition in rural supermarkets is high, and making money, connections, and geographical location are very important.

When opening supermarkets in rural areas, they generally choose market towns. These places have a large flow of people, especially when going to the market.

However, what supermarkets sell are some traditional daily necessities. You will find that many stores in market towns sell daily necessities, so the competition pressure is very high. Take our towns as an example, various canteens and grocery stores , there are no less than dozens of small supermarkets, and there are so many people sharing a piece of cake, how do you make money? The most critical thing is that the Internet is becoming more and more popular in rural areas, and many farmers like online shopping. This has caused a huge impact on traditional enterprises, and this piece of the cake has been quickly compressed.

However, there is still money to be made by opening a supermarket. It’s just a question of how much. Generally, the more profitable ones are some old stores. One has connections, one has long occupied a favorable position, and the other has even a storefront. They are all their own, and there is no such thing as a loss. Therefore, it is difficult for new stores to compete with these old stores.

The design of rural supermarkets is very important

I think that when opening a supermarket in a rural area, you must know how to change, learn more about the supermarket marketing model in the city, and differentiate it from the traditional canteen to attract customers. The decoration should be more beautiful, the prices more affordable, and the varieties more complete, so that consumers will feel more comfortable when they come to buy things. You can also cooperate with some local farmers and put some vegetables in for sale. As long as your supermarket is different from other stores, business will be very good. Even if it is copied by others and you are the first to open it, more consumers will generally recognize the first store.

In short, I think that if there is no good location in rural areas, it is better not to open a supermarket. The good location has long been occupied by others. The competition pressure in supermarkets is too great, and the passenger flow is limited. If the rent is If it's high, it's not worth it.

Hello everyone, I am Hengmei, a farmer.

Open a supermarket in rural areas. The location must be chosen at an intersection with a large flow of people, because it is in a rural area, and the first thing to consider is convenience. In rural areas, daily necessities such as tobacco, alcohol, sugar, melons, fruits and vegetables are still the main products.

Since you want to open a supermarket in rural areas, the cost will naturally be much lower and the rent of the house is cheap. Therefore, you can slightly expand the scale of the supermarket and make the merchandise display more high-end. Because it is a rural area, it is not easy to make money. Compared with cities, the flow of people is much less, and the consumption cycle is also long. Many products are placed on the counter for a long time and cannot be moved and cannot be sold. Therefore, I suggest You can choose to go to towns or around primary and secondary schools. First of all, towns and villages have a certain economic circle. People go to markets and so on, so the flow of people is naturally large. The area around the school is naturally a business for students.

Hello everyone, I am Farmer Xiaoxi, thank you for the invitation.

For this question, I would like to give an example. There are about 20 households in our village, with a population of nearly 100. My cousin opened a small supermarket in our village two years ago. Of course, there are not many goods in the small supermarket, but they are all necessities for life in our village. Since our village is relatively far from the market, the prices of items in the small supermarket are relatively high. It was okay at the beginning. It was not a problem to earn four to five hundred yuan a month by working a little bit. However, the small supermarket closed after less than two years. Because, with the improvement of people's living standards and economic level and the construction of "village access roads", small supermarkets can no longer meet people's material needs, and almost every household has bought a car, daily necessities They all go to the market to buy, which led to the closure of my cousin’s small supermarket.

So the question of whether the small supermarket makes money must be determined based on the actual situation, if we talk about the population of the village. There are many, and the demand for daily necessities is high, so opening a small supermarket can definitely make money.

Rural areas are generally in relatively remote places, making life and shopping inconvenient. If there is a small supermarket in the village, it will bring convenience to everyone. Just like the Bigfoot supermarket in the TV series, it is completely profitable.

There is also the idea of ??making money by opening supermarkets in rural areas. The products sold must be daily necessities, vegetables and fruits that are based on the actual conditions in rural areas. There should be many varieties, not just one. Modern network technology can also be used to allow villagers to shop online and have small supermarkets deliver goods directly to their doorsteps. By imitating the convenient services in the city, I think it will definitely make money to open a small supermarket in the countryside.

Thanks for reading, please pay attention, thank you!

This problem depends on the place. First, it must be popular, and it depends on the local life and people's needs. Practical products will be better,

360 rows, every row will be number one. There are definitely some who make money and some who don’t. I will share my views based on my own experience as a supermarket owner:

A friend has been running a supermarket for more than 10 years, but he has not seen any improvement in his life, nor has he purchased any properties. All I heard was that he was in debt everywhere. A detailed analysis is mainly due to the following reasons: 1. Do not pay attention to the business hygienic environment. Rural supermarkets originally focus on daily necessities and have higher requirements for environmental hygiene. Now the villagers' hygiene awareness has also greatly improved, so dirty A messy environment makes it difficult to attract customers. 2. Products are not updated in a timely manner. Everyone has a smartphone, and it is more comprehensive and convenient to receive external information. New products do not keep up with the times after they are released, and they still hold on to one or two unsold products waiting for a price. , naturally customers are less selective. 3. The service attitude is lacking. A large part of opening a supermarket is to provide services. Customers tend to ignore them when they come. Especially the old people in rural areas do not have much education. They ask more questions, take a long time to choose, or temporarily store things in the supermarket. etc., cannot provide such convenience, and there will be fewer and fewer customers. 4. He is indolent and does not do his job. He drives the supermarket and thinks about winning big prizes by buying lottery tickets and getting rich overnight. He plays on his mobile phone and watches videos all day long. When friends come over and want to sit down and have a cup of tea, he has no time to entertain them.

I think it is still possible to make money by opening supermarkets in rural areas, and there are also many well-run people who can build a career at home. In addition to purchase channels, geographical location and competitors, you need to have the following points to make money:

1. Be a person first and do things second. When talking about being a good person in rural areas, it means that this person is thoughtful, friendly, easy to deal with, and loves to help others. If he is popular, customers will naturally come to him. Once he becomes familiar with him, his business will get better and better.

2. The products are complete and the quality is guaranteed. The variety of goods is complete, and the goods are purchased from regular channels to ensure high quality. The reputation of the supermarket will be spread among many people.

3. Hospitality and thoughtful service. Be enthusiastic and generous to every customer, do not judge people by their appearance, and do their best to provide convenience, creating a lively scene in the supermarket.

I don’t know much about business concepts, I just talk about it based on observations and phenomena.

The biggest difference between rural areas and cities is firstly the passenger flow and secondly the difference in quality.

Urban supermarkets mostly cater to customers with urban tastes with luxurious images, super large sizes, service facilities, etc. The products focus on fine, authentic, expensive and complete products. There is a steady flow of customers and profits are at hand.

For rural supermarkets, on the contrary, the location, facilities, and quality of goods must be suitable for the economic level and purchasing power of rural areas. Customers are mostly fixed, so precise strategies and policies are particularly important. Popular products, affordable prices, and enthusiastic attitudes are the foundation and development direction of rural supermarkets.

Three new supermarkets have opened on nearby Government Street, and I heard they are all big bosses from the South. It took about three months from taking over, decorating, and opening the business. During a casual chat with the boss, I couldn't find out how much money was invested in the two phases. He only said that from site selection, project establishment, preparation, to daily turnover, it was not satisfactory. Just because the passenger flow here was overestimated, the actual daily turnover amount is almost not enough to make much money.

I understand his difficulties. Now that he has rented a venue and invested all his money, it is impossible to withdraw in the short term.

Of course, the one who poses a direct threat to him is his counterpart, the same Southern Cannon. The passenger flow is only so large, the purchasing power cannot be expanded, and the competition has become very fierce.

I am a gold digger, why should I be too impatient, right?

Business secrets will not be leaked. As for how much money I make, only I know best.

I only see signs of reality, but I don’t see a flourishing vitality.

This is how I look at the issue of opening supermarkets in rural areas. First, look at the location and how many villages it can cover. Then, check whether there are supermarkets nearby. The daily turnover of the one with the best business is about How many? The reason for good business? , so that you can be aware of it.

In business, there are some that can be run well and some that are poorly run. The same is true for supermarkets. If you are planning to open a supermarket, I will give you the following suggestions:

1: Doorhead It must be eye-catching. I think making a blister light box can make it more attention-grabbing.

2: Do not use aluminum alloy for supermarket doors. It is good and fashionable to use KFC doors instead.

3: For a cashier system, buy a cash register and a scanner. Do not collect money manually, just like the previous canteen.

4: When decorating, keep it neat and simple.

5: The placement of goods on shelves is also very scientific. Frequently circulated goods should be placed in eye-catching places within reach.

6: The products should be relatively comprehensive and of better quality. Many of the shampoos, toothpastes, etc. in supermarkets in rural areas were fake.

7: Sell online and offline together, set up a WeChat group, and send out new and special-priced products every day.

_Thirty percent of the store's profit, do you think it can be used as a venue? We have a house. One hundred thousand is enough. The goods will be provided by the merchant, or it can be settled in ten days or monthly. Good thing, hurry up and open it, don’t miss the business opportunity

I just opened one this year. I can earn more than ten yuan a day and have my own house. The profit is too small and it is difficult for rural people to serve.

To open a supermarket in a rural area, you must first understand the characteristics of the village: for example

First, whether it is located in a general rural area or a market town, if it is a market town, you can open a store;

Second , whether the population is concentrated, if it is an ordinary rural area, even if the population is concentrated, you can open a store;

Third, whether to go to the market at different times, if there are larger towns nearby, the market time is also divided into time, such as 2, 5, 8 People from villages all over the country go to the same place to attend the market, and there is no problem in opening a shop if they have time.

To put it bluntly, we need to first look at the local population and secondly, whether the population is concentrated. If the population is dispersed and the population is small, it is not suitable for a supermarket.

My suggestion is to look at the main local industries and combine them to make department stores or grocery stores, kitchen utensils, production farm tools, supplies for weddings and weddings, daily groceries, and small household appliances.

My brother-in-law opened a department store in our town. The shop covers an area of ??about 45 square meters. Although it is in a town, we mainly work outside, and most of the people at home are elderly and children. The permanent population of the town is at most a few hundred people, and the total of all the surrounding villages is estimated to be only 10,000. , go to the market on four or seven. My brother-in-law relies on this grocery store in such a place. From 2012 to now, he bought three houses and a car in our county, all with no loan. In the first year, he invested more than 100,000 yuan to purchase goods, but he did not sell them. Non-staple food, because in rural areas, you can grow your own food, and the population is small and scattered. Non-staple food has a shelf life, and the risk is extremely uncontrollable. What they sell is stuff that will not expire.

In addition, department stores must have a complete range of items. As the old saying goes, there is a mountain of goods to sell. Some rural people only go to the market once every few months. As long as a store can buy everything they want, they will usually buy it when they enter the store. Buy what you need, what you can buy, and even what you think you will need next month, buy it in advance.
