To be honest, convenience stores are the stores with the lowest risk and the smallest chance of losing money among all physical stores. As long as the certificates are complete, especially with a "Tobacco Retail License", there is no guarantee of how much money you can make, but you can lose money. The odds are almost zero.

(A door plaque like the one in the picture can be made for less than 2,000 yuan) Generally, opening a physical store, taking an 80-square-meter, fifth-tier city as an example, can basically cost about 120,000 yuan. Let’s talk about how the 120,000 yuan is allocated:

Rent: This is not a fixed price. The annual rent of 80 square meters in fifth-tier cities is around 30,000 yuan;

Decoration: An ordinary convenience store can be simply decorated, mainly lighting equipment, and the walls can be simply scraped white, and the cost is within 1,000 to 5,000 yuan.

Hardware equipment: 2 freezers, a cash register, an electronic scale, and N sets of shelves; a freezer usually costs about 1,500 yuan for one, 3,000 yuan for two, and some manufacturers can use it for free by paying a deposit; You can just buy a cheaper cash register, which costs around 5,000 yuan; a scale that costs around 500 yuan is fine; there are many opinions on shelves. If it is a versatile shelf or the shelf board is replaced by glass, the price will be around 3,500 yuan. If it is a standard shelf with a length of 1.2×1.8 and a height of 1.2×1.8, the price ranges from 80 to 300 yuan. Specifically converted according to the demand quantity, the price is about 6,500 yuan. To sum up, the hardware equipment requires about 15,000 yuan.

Door decoration: This depends on the positioning of the store. The cheapest plaque (the one without any decoration) can be finished within 1,500 yuan, while the more expensive one with a smaller store can be finished at around 5,000 yuan (LED lights and other decorations). facility).

(The shelves in the picture are more expensive, and the product plates are thicker. There is no need to use such good shelves when opening a normal convenience store. For drinks, just use a few sets of good shelves, and for other products, use plates. 0.8mm~1.2mm is sufficient.

Procurement of goods: This is where funds are most needed. Generally, a convenience store with an area of ??80 square meters can purchase and sell as needed without stocking or inventory in the early stage. ~70,000 yuan is enough. If the convenience store is in a better location, cigarettes may require tens of thousands of yuan in inventory.

Daily accounts: electricity bills, water bills, property fees, and losses, this can be done. Ignore, it is usually the normal operation and maintenance cost of opening a store, and it is not included in the cost of opening a store.

To sum up, let’s calculate that the rent is 30,000 yuan, decoration is 5,000 yuan, hardware equipment is 15,000 yuan, and plaque is 5,000 yuan. Yuan, stocking is 70,000 yuan, which is equal to 125,000 yuan in the end. If you adopt simple decoration and pay a deposit for free trial, you can basically get it for about 100,000 yuan.

The above is the basic cost of opening a store for me. I spent about 140,000 to open a store for my relatives that year. It is similar to the method I listed. You can calculate it based on the actual situation.
