Is openning an organic food store (competing with Whole Foods Store) a prudent idea since the boomers are getting more concern about health?
That concern doesn't appear to be translating to actual $$ spent, unlike Starbucks.Is openning an organic food store (competing with Whole Foods Store) a prudent idea since the boomers are getting more concern about health?
By the way, anyone see any of those farm co-op deals where you kick in a bunch of money at the beginning of the growing season and that entitles you to a weekly basket of whatevers growing that week? They have a website somewhere, I looked at it about a year ago but the guys near me were too far of a drive. Seemed like a pretty good idea/deal.

As far as making money competing with "the big boys" on organics, I wouldnt do it unless I was bleeding money and wanted to do it for the sake of doing it.
Yikes! Not my area of expertise, but I understand the grocery store business is VERY competitive and low margin. Your draw would be the organics, but would your shoppers stick around and buy the rest of your stuff or go coupon-cutting at the big stores? Would your turnover on non-organics be enough to keep your stock fresh? (Yes, packaged foods aren't as good when they're not "fresh".)The store that I have in mind is similar to a typical grocery store such as Safeway in size and offerings except [. . .]
That's pretty funny! Where is this hypothetical body of water-- on a tank farm? No, considering the water supply, that probably wouldn't work either...... seafoods are caught from non-polluted water...
