A major key to success in retail is finding the right
location. Buckstore, Inc. works side by side with the store owner and
with a large nationwide network of commercial real estate professionals
who assist you in identifying suitable locations. RPI Commercial Inc. as
a full-service commercial real estate brokerage firm works in
cooperation with Buckstore and a national network of real estate
professionals which brings rapid results.
This collaboration provides services which includes
assessing potential locations, assisting in site selection, negotiations
for your lease and its terms, and any other details relating to renting
or owning your store.
No. We offer solutions which include: finding your
location; negotiating your lease; designing your layout (click here);
furnishing the interior of your store with all necessary fixtures;
opening inventory; cash counters; cash registers, etc.
If you wish to do some or all of the labor yourself,
we can provide you with complete "Do it Yourself" instructions of how to
setup the store at no cost. This would include free store layout, free
product plan-o-grams, fixtures at cost from the manufacturer, and all
necessary consultation at no cost.
Perhaps you should rather ask all those other
companies why they are so expensive ! Most Dollar Store companies are
only interested in getting money from your setup and startup. They don't
anticipate selling merchandise to you or doing business with you a long
time and are trying to make as much money as they can upfront and in
"one shot" asking for big deposits, money upfront, fees to be paid for
information on doing a store, finding a location, etc.
We, at Buckstore Inc, help you find a demographically
suitable location, not just "any location" so you sell more & keep
purchasing merchandise for a long time. Our merchandising department
will also refer you to vendors and warehouses which carry the best and
lowest priced merchandise in the market if you want to add more & more
product categories to your store. Our business is based on the volume
your store purchases. We need you to do well ! The better you do, the
better we do, and you are free to purchase merchandise from anyone you
want at anytime.
Absolutely, we will assess your store and give you
suggestions on how to supplement it as necessary so you have the widest
variety of merchandise possible. Some of those companies provide as
little as $10 of merchandise per square foot. WE KNOW You will need a
minimum of $15 of merchandise per square foot to fill up your shelves,
make your store visually attractive to the savvy buyer and maximize your
sales.
Many people have the misconception that Dollar Stores
only "work" in middle-low income areas. The fact is that everyone likes
to save money. Different demographic groups have different needs and
therefore buy different merchandise such as seniors vs. young families.
We make sure to provide our stores with the widest variety of
merchandise that will allow them to offer customers what they want.
Yes. At no cost to you, we will evaluate the fixtures
you have and tell you what modifications, if any, would be necessary to
convert your existing location into a Dollar Store. We would then inform
you what we suggest the necessary inventory should be.
Absolutely not. Every store we help is independently
owned.
8 Once I am open, how do I order from Merchandise Vendors / warehouses ?
How do I re-order ?
Besides receiving monthly updates on over 66,000
products, our merchandising department will be available for you and
will keep you informed with catalogs, newsletters, special deals,
closeouts, and monthly re-order forms from all of the top quality
merchandise vendors in the marketplace and in each specific category.
