1. Get the business background:

A grocerant is a grocery store that sells prepared meals that are either eaten on the site or taken home by shoppers. A lot of American families have two employed parents and as such may not have enough time to prepare fresh meals for their families and this gave rise to the grocerant. The word grocerant is a hybrid of ‘grocery’ and ‘restaurant.’

The grocerant trend has been fueled by consumers’ need for convenience and desire to eat fresh, high-quality family meals. Grocerants offer a one-stop-shopping solution for consumers driven by either curiosity or a lack of time, and an increasing number of grocery stores now allow customers to buy and eat on the spot. This is another lucrative grocery business idea.

2. Come up with an idea!

Think about what it is you love to do, and what you are good at! Something is guaranteed to come up. No one wants to get stuck running a business they aren’t happy about. This process may take an hour up to a week, it just depends how quickly the spark comes upon you. Be patient, and don’t fool yourself about what you want to do just because you can’t think of something.

3. Write your business plan.

This will be 15+ pages so be ready to write. Your business plan should include who you are, your experience, what you do/sell, what your market it, pricing, profit, gross income, goals for the future, where your business is headed, etc. Hint: When stating goals, don’t say “We hope to…”, say “We will…”, it makes you sound confident and not hopeful. You need to believe in what you’re doing.

4. Things You’ll Need

  • Pencil or pen
  • Notepad
  • Money to start up
  • Investors (parents and siblings are a great starter)
  • Computer (to track graphs and charts)
  • Printer (to print flyers)

5. Look at the market.

Study who your customers and competition are. Is your target your classmates, your teachers, adults, etc.? And what are other businesses competing with you or sharing the same product? The idea of this step is to see if your business can succeed and if it has a niche in the market.

6. Once you’ve studied your target customers, find out how you can lure them into your product/service.

How will you advertise? Also, now that you know your competition, find out what will set you apart from them. What will make customers want to go to you rather than to go to your competition? This step will help you understand your market and will help with your business plan.

7. Find out the basics.

Pricing is something you need, along with your calculation of profit and how you will get your product (buying from manufacturer, making it by hand, etc.) Also make charts for your products to calculate anything you need to. Don’t forget things like shipping in your costs.

8. Advertise.

Get the word around. Just like gossip, your business could spread throughout the entire school.

Set up fliers (but be sure to get the schools permission).

9. More tips

Bring a notepad with you wherever you go to spark a business idea, you never know when something will come up.

When you write your business plan, be sure you don’t sound too confident. Being cocky and confident are two different worlds.

Take your time while writing your plan; it will pay when you encounter problems!

If you make the prices too high people will say it’s too much money and not buy it.

Be professional and polite.

10. Have fun!

Do things with your profit and enjoy yourself, reward yourself! Good luck!

Conclusion

  • Never base price on something like percentage, but think to yourself, “How much are people willing to pay for this?”.
  • Be sure your school allows selling stuff on school grounds.
