Of course you make money, and a lot of it. Of course, it also depends on the location, such as the FamilyMart convenience store in Shanghai:
FamilyMart’s products: Most of FamilyMart’s products are much more expensive than ordinary small stores, but its quality, service and promotion methods are very strong. . Moreover, many of FamilyMart’s products are produced in its own factory. Its oden, breakfast soy milk buns, bread, and fast food for about 10-15 yuan all sell well.
His own supply chain systems such as goods out-of-stock statistics and logistics are well developed, which saves the final cost and increases the overall profit of the goods. For example, FamilyMart's cash register will have statistics on the age groups of the population, such as children, youth, the elderly, etc. The average consumer cannot see it. For example, when his goods are scanned and out of stock, the store manager directly scans and enters them into the system, so that he can respond to the out-of-stock situation in a timely manner, arrange logistics in a timely manner, and count the sales of goods in a timely manner.
FamilyMart’s intensive store openings also include community stores to integrate into residents’ daily consumption. There are many family members in Shanghai, and Suzhou is also gradually spreading. I once heard from the person in charge of FamilyMart's Suzhou region that FamilyMart's community service in Japan is also terrible. An area is opened for guests to dine. The water and electricity bills of community residents can be handled here. Even if the residents are not at home, their children can come directly here after school to finish their homework and wait for their parents to pick it up. The supermarket has become a part of residents' lives. This is the future of the whole family. development direction. It’s just that many domestic conditions have not yet arrived. FamilyMart is also developing mostly in first- and second-tier cities, and more stores will be opened in the future.
