Preparations for opening a convenience store:

1. Before decorating and purchasing equipment, we should arrange the placement positions of various equipment in detail on the floor plan of the store: cashier, refrigerator, freezer, ice cream cabinet, tobacco and alcohol rack, shelf (these equipment should also be implemented before decorating, or draw a specific floor plan after knowing the size of each equipment), and so on.

2. Decoration; In the decoration design of convenience stores, a simple, bright and clean decoration style is used to build convenience stores, without much luxury and decoration, so that customers can see the distribution of all the goods in the store at a glance. To save some investment, use the simplest decoration, that is, DIY.

paint the walls white. If the ceiling can be painted white, paint it directly. If the roof is too complicated, do some simple hanging ceilings, and then install lamps. If you can do it yourself, try to do it yourself. You need all kinds of pigments and tools, lamps, wires, switch sockets and so on. If you want to be beautiful and close to the chain convenience store model, you must invite someone to decorate it.

3. Three freezers are basically needed, one ice cream cabinet, one vertical cabinet (filled with soda) and one air curtain cabinet (filled with dairy products and cooked food, etc.).

4. air conditioning is not necessary if it is in rural areas or non-commercial centers. Only in the bustling commercial center is it necessary to install air conditioning.

5, shelves, calculated in square meters, every 4-5 square meters, need a set of shelves. According to the number of shelf groups you need to put in your plan, then go to the local shelf supplier to discuss the price. If it's too expensive, you can also look for it in the second-hand market.

6. Alcohol and tobacco cabinet, which can be customized according to requirements.

7. Signboard, you can refer to the signboard mode of chain convenience stores and modify your own signboard, which is brighter and more eye-catching.

8. If the cashier and cash register are in rural areas, they are not needed. But you must be able to be clear about the price; If not, install a cash register.

to sum up, the facilities required for convenience stores include: interior decoration, freezer, air conditioner, shelves, signboards, cashier and cash register. Estimate the total price of these equipment according to the local price level.

In addition, the initial investment cost also includes the following items: the store's deposit (usually two months' rent), the monthly rent for down payment, and the payment for the first batch of goods. If the first batch of goods is paid, it depends on the size of the store, the level of operation and the types of goods. You can try if you put the goods you want to sell, what is the total retail price of these goods? Think of this number as your first purchase money, anyway, it is better to prepare a little more than you actually need.
