What is the origin and significance of the name of grocery store?

Food in the grocery store means food, while miscellaneous means daily necessities.

In ancient times, two people opened a grocery store and a grocery store. At that time, there was only one store to rent. When they saw it at the same time, they both wanted to rent it themselves. They argued endlessly and finally got into trouble with the government. In order to calm the dispute, the county magistrate sentenced them to rent it together, one for each side. In order not to let them quarrel over the name of the store, they decided that the store was called "groceries", that is, the origin of the grocery store.

The significance of grocery store:

First, convenience;

For a bag of salt, a bottle of beer and a can of oil, people don't go far, but go to big shopping malls and supermarkets to buy everything. At present, some grocery stores also offer some additional convenience services, such as delivering newspapers and recharging mobile phones.

second, people are familiar.

grocery store owners are familiar with most residents' faces and have certain emotional factors, which are beyond the reach of other businesses.

expanding information

grocery stores can try the following business methods:

grocery stores should put up convenience cards. In view of the weakness of chain businesses that it is impossible to provide door-to-door service for small purchases, the measures of free door-to-door delivery of grocery stores and delivery telephone numbers are widely publicized in the whole residential area, and it is widely announced that no matter whether it is a bag of soy sauce, vinegar, salt, a box of cigarettes or a bottle of beer, the store will deliver the goods home at once by making a phone call.

The following publicity measures can be taken:

1. Print exquisite business cards, which indicate the business scope, delivery phone number, store address, contact person and other contents of the store. Give one to each household in the residential area in case residents need to contact;

2. Contact the neighborhood Committee, publicize the convenience measures of the small shop by news on the publicity column of the residential area, and improve the popularity through the authoritative recommendation of the neighborhood Committee;

3. Write the service measures and delivery telephone number in the form of a sign at the store gate and make it widely known.

The reason why grocery stores can carry out valet shopping and door-to-door delivery is because both buyers and sellers live in the same community, and everyone looks down and even children know the owner of the grocery store. There is no such relationship in big shopping malls and supermarkets. If you want to deliver goods to your door, children or old people may not even dare to open the door when they see a stranger knocking at the door.
