1. Industry Overview
Fruit and vegetable store is a subset of the overall grocery store cum retail industry and fruits and
vegetable retail stores are outlets that primarily retail fruits and vegetables.
If you are a close observer of the fruits and vegetables retail line of business, you will agree that
the industry is anticipated to increase due to increasing consumer health consciousness, which
has led to increasing demand for fresh produce. While per capita fruit and vegetable
consumption has remained stable in recent time, the price of vegetables has increased as
consumers demand premium, fresh vegetables.
The supermarket and grocery store industry that fruit and vegetable retail store is a part of is a
major sector of the economy of the united states which generates over 2 billion annually from
more than 42,539 outlets scattered all around the United States of America. The industry is
responsible for the employment of over 2,624,650 people. Experts project the Supermarket and
grocery industry to grow at a 1.4 percent annual rate.
It is a fact that an estimated two-thirds of the United States’ gross domestic product (GDP)
comes from retail consumption of which the supermarket and grocery stores industry contributes
greatly. This is why the United States of America’s economy is measured with the yardstick of
how well the retailing business is fairing in the U.S.
In essence, when there is an unstable economy, purchasing power drops and it impacts the
retailing industry negatively which may result in the closure of some grocery stores.
The retail landscape has seen tremendous changes in the last 20 years; it has grown from the
usual mom and pop outlets to a more organized and far reaching venture. The introduction of
franchise and online stores make it easier for a retailer to reach out to a larger market far beyond
the areas where his physical store is located.
It is interesting to note that more grocery shops (fruit and vegetable retail stores inclusive)
especially lager retail outlets have started to include self-serve checkout lanes in their stores. It
creates shorter lines that appeal to consumers; the average customer would not want to stay
longer on a queue.
Over and above, starting a fruit and vegetable retail store business in the United States is a
profitable business and it is open for any aspiring entrepreneur to come in and establish his or her
business; you can choose to start on a small scale in a street corner like the average mom and pop
business or you can choose to start on a large scale with several outlets in key cities all across the
United States of America.

6. SWOT Analysis
We decided to open just one store outlet in Atlanta – Georgia in order to test run the business for
a period of 3 to 6 years to know if we will invest more money, expand the business and then
open other outlets in Georgia.
We are quite aware that there are a several fruits and vegetable retail stores and of course several
supermarket and grocery stores all over Atlanta – Georgia and even in the same location where
we intend locating ours who also engage in the retailing of fresh fruits and vegetables, which is
why we are following the due process of establishing a new business.
We know that if a proper SWOT analysis is conducted for our business, we will be able to
position our business to maximize our strength, leverage on the opportunities that will be
available to us, mitigate our risks and be equipped to confront our threats.
Dorothy Nightingale® Fruits & Vegetable Retail Store, Inc. employed the services of an expert
HR and Business Analyst with bias in retailing to help us conduct a thorough SWOT analysis
and to help us create a Business model that will help us achieve our business goals and
objectives.
This is the summary of the SWOT analysis that was conducted for Dorothy Nightingale® Fruits
& Vegetable Retail Store, Inc.;
 Strength:

Part of what is going to count as a positive for us is the fact that we are centrally located. The
business model we will be operating on, varieties of payment options, wide range of fresh fruits
and vegetables and our excellent customer service culture will definitely count as a strong
strength for Dorothy Nightingale® Fruits & Vegetable Retail Store, Inc.
 Weakness:

From our findings, one major weakness that may count against us is the fact that we are a new
fruits and vegetables store and we don’t have the financial capacity to compete with multi –
million dollar supermarket and grocery store outlets that also retail fresh fruits and vegetables.
 Opportunities:
The fact that we are going to be operating our fruits and vegetable retail store in one of the most
populated cities in Georgia provides us with unlimited opportunities to sell our fresh fruits and
vegetables to a large number of people especially vegetarians.
We have been able to conduct thorough feasibility studies and market survey and we know what
our potential clients will be looking for when they visit our store; we are well positioned to take
on the opportunities that will come our way.
 Threat:

We are aware that one of the major threats that we are likely going to face is economic
downturn. Another threat that may likely confront us is the arrival of a new fruit and vegetable
store, supermarket, grocery store or retail outlet who would want to engage in the sale of fruits
and vegetables in same location where ours is located.

7. MARKET ANALYSIS
 Market Trends

It is important to state that any trend that is applicable to business in the supermarket and grocery
store industry is applicable to fruit and vegetable retail stores. Supermarket and grocery store
business has been in existence for as long as human started trading goods, but one thing is
certain, the supermarket and grocery store industry that fruits and vegetables retail store business
is a part of is still evolving.
The introduction of technology and subsequently online retail store has indeed helped in
reshaping the industry. It is now a common phenomenon for supermarkets and grocery outlets to
leverage on technology to effectively predict consumer demand patterns and to strategically
position their shops to meet their needs.
If you are a close observer of the trends in the vegetable and fruits retail line of business, you
will agree that the vegetable and fruits sale is anticipated to increase due to increasing consumer
health consciousness. While per capita fruit and vegetable consumption has remained stable over
in recent time, the price of vegetables has increased as consumers demand premium, fresh
vegetables.
So also, the number of outlets retailing fruits and vegetables has been increasing. Small, local
vegetable and fruits retail outlets are benefiting from the organic, local movement, while large,
commercial farms are improving labor efficiency. Going forward, players in the vegetable and
fruits line of business will continue to increase revenue generation for their business.

8. Our Target Market

Those who are the end consumers of fresh vegetable and fruits is all encompassing; it is far –
reaching. Every household consumes fresh vegetables, so a fresh vegetable and fruit retail store
should be able to sell his or her produce to as many people as possible.
Our Competitive Advantage
A recent study conducted on the supermarket and grocery store industry reveals that the market
has become much more intensely competitive over the last decade. As a matter of fact, you have
to be highly creative, customer centric and proactive if you must survive in this industry. We are
aware of the stiff competition and we are prepared to compete favorably with other leading
stores in and around Atlanta – Georgia.
One thing is certain; we will ensure that we have a wide range of fresh fruits and vegetables
available in our store at all times. It will be difficult for customers to visit our store and not see
the type of fruits or vegetables that they are looking for. Our excellent customer service culture,
online store, various payment options and highly secured facility will serve as a competitive
advantage for us.
Lastly, our employees will be well taken care of, and their welfare package will be among the
best within our category in the industry meaning that they will be more than willing to build the
business with us and help deliver our set goals and achieve all our objectives.

Generating Startup Capital for Dorothy Nightingale® Fruits & Vegetable Retail Store, Inc.
Dorothy Nightingale® Fruits & Vegetable Retail Store, Inc.  is a family business that is owned
and financed by Dorothy Nightingale and her immediate family. They do not intend to welcome
any external business partners which is why she has decided to restrict the sourcing of the startup
capital to 3 major sources.

 Apply for loan from the bank

N.B: We have been able to generate about $50,000 (Personal savings $30,000 and soft loan from

14. Sustainability and Expansion Strategy

It is an established fact that the future of a business lies in the number of loyal customers that
they have, the capacity and competence of the employees, their investment strategy and the
business structure. If all of these factors are missing from a business, then it won’t be too long
before the business closes shop.
One of our goals of starting this business is to build a business that will survive off its cash flow
without injecting finance from external sources once the business is officially running. We know
that one of the ways of gaining approval and winning customers over is to retail our fresh fruits
and vegetables a little bit cheaper than what is obtainable in the market and we are prepared to
survive on lower profit margin for a while.
Dorothy Nightingale® Fruits & Vegetable Retail Store will make sure that the right foundation,
structures and processes are put in place to ensure that our staff welfare are well taken of. Our

we can get in the industry; they will be more committed to help us build the business of our
dreams.
