Bruh this idea is incredible. Absolute GENIUS. Just please keep the ingredients at a good quality and get your mom and some aunties to help you with the recipes. Also definitely take suggestions from your customers
So glad I found you on tiktok. Your sooo beautiful! And congrats on your store! Pls post more day in the life of a business owner videos! I’m a business owner myself and seeing these videos are very inspirational. I LOVE seeing successful, young women.
How did you prepare for your grocery store? The planning process, the money, the people you work with, how do you get direct suppliers for your store, do you bargain for a lower cost when they offer you big. I hope you answer my questions and im looking forward seeing more of your videos 🤍 more power for you sending you love and light! 💕
You are truly an inspiration! Congratulations on such a huge accomplishment! I can tell that you carefully and strategically planned starting your business. This was definitely helpful.
Thankfully my parents already owned A Hispanic supermarket. I’m opening my own in a different city. Your video just motivated me to keep going! Honestly I don’t know how you edit videos, go to school, and run the store. Sending you lots of love from Atlanta, GA!
I would love to see more updates and grocery store video as well as cost but really just wanna see you succeed! It’s really inspiring to see your content! Keep up the hard work!!!
here from tiktok! I'd love to hear more about your overall journey with entrepreneurship and personal finance as well as how you balance school and work. I'm currently a senior in high school and I'd love to learn more about different ways to make money in college. Thank you for being such an incredible role model :)
Congrats, Love from South Africa. I'm 20 years old and started an online store delivering fresh fruit and vegetables but I'd love to open a grocery store, something similar to yours.
Love the heart and passion you have starting up your new business. Im planning to start a retail business in Samoa this month and I’m stuck don’t really know where to start. However after watching your video it really gave me the strength to prepare myself to make mistakes a long the way and to keep on going and never give up. Thank you sina
I truly appreciate it. Thank you so much! I hope you actually consider opening a business you dream of. My mom just opened another business and she just turned 50! Never too late :)
The best name for a store I can think of. 'Om". So impersonal and yet very personal. The all encompassing Om which reverberates in each and every pulsation of this Universe all the time.
Congrats, I'm so proud of you ❤, i use to work in a Indian supermarket in Jamaica 🇯🇲, they were well supported especially by the local indian community, they did grocery deliveries on Monday and Tuesday their slower days and that made up, now I'm in America I'm thinking about starting something similar but selling jamaican jamaican products and hot food, you just got a new subscriber, im gonna keep up with your journey you're going to do soooooooo well in your business 😊😊😊.
Hey great work. I have moved and renovated a convenient store myself so i feel your hard work in moving shelfs and relocating and cooler is such a pain in butt and what goes through it. Keep on it. U rocked it🙌🏻
When I start my business I don’t spend so much in my store decorations like if the tiles is ok I don’t change it. I will change it when the business is getting revenue. But overall good with ur decision to start ur business it’s the best thing ever
Can you please make a video about all the mistakes that you did? It would really help many of us so much. It would be very kind of you. And Congratulations on the grocery store!! I hope everything turns out well and nice. I believe that you can achieve it.
Great video - Impressive. I salute your bravery, resilience, and entrepreneurial spirit. I Hope you'll make another video to let us know how you're doing now. Wish you ALL THE BEST and all the success. Thank you for the inspiration.
Wow this is amazing. You really turned that rundown thing you started with into a work of art. You are so beautiful too, and your clothes are amazing too. Please show more videos about your grocery store.
I had an Internet cafe, that sold teas, coffees, food, snacks, etc, to go along with the computer usage. I had staff, but it was me only me that did everything. It was tough being the only person in charge. I don't envy you, and what you have to do! Good luck to you and to your business!
This is very inspiring to watch. I remember opening my first grocery and pharmacy at the age of 25 in the island of Trinidad and Tobago. It has been two years now and the rewards are definitely worth it after the first year or so of grinding. Being of Indian heritage also is really nice, our grandparents just immigrated to different countries i guess lol. That being said very proud of you and keep up the good work. Would love to see a tour of your grocery and a video explaining what are your fast and slow sellers. Also would love some info on the grocery store setup in Canada if you have available time, looks to be a great place to invest in the future.
Took a small loan for $12k at 6% interest. The majority came from cash (savings from my previous business, jobs I had & sold some stocks) about 60k. It’s hard to qualify for business loans here so cash is the way to go. I also maxed out credit cards ($28,000) which are now paid off.
This is so freaking awesome. Congrats on everything. For me, what really holds me back it’s not knowing how to get financing for this, do you have a video? Also, could you go over the paperwork and permits that you need for the store and to sell food? That’s what makes my mind spin. But I have all the energy to work really hard. Cheers from Chile
Thanks so much! The financing was a bit complex because it's not easy to get business loans. I mainly used savings, credit cards (do it at your own risk) and some personal loans. For the paperwork, the system in Quebec is quite easy but it depends where you are. If it's too complex, hire an accountant or lawyer, they will charge a lot but it's worth it if it's what's holding you back. Best of luck! :)
Hey Congrats !! Hope it goes well for you. How about a video on the financial side of things? What start up cost are like vs pricing vs similar product pricing in the area. How to price basically.. wholesale cost of goods... operational cost . And what you can expect in terms of profit and time to recover your expenses
Congrats GIRL😉☝❤🌹🙏👍 for being a GO GETTER kind of girl. Im a 34 year old men and i started investing just barely 3 years ago🤧😤😔 if i could have started at 21 years old i could have already been a MILLIONARE so i admire and congrat you and your mindset.❤❤❤❤
@@Ree2mz nice👍 im currently in the process of building -starting my own MINI MARKET business and came upon your video😉 i have to clue how to run a market but its a learning process
This is amazing!!! I admire your work ethic and perseverance! One of the things holding me back to open my own business is the financial aspect. How did you fund the purchase and all of the start up expenses for the store? Thanks a lot for sharing, I wish you much success!!
what were your initial cost for a convenience store and what were you expecting for your store for new business and what did you make for you first-day business
Hi Reetu, loved your video could you please let me know from where you’re getting the inventory from? Any suggestions for suppliers? Planning to open one in Calgary….. please let me know, Thankx in advance

The all encompassing Om which reverberates in each and every pulsation of this Universe all the time.
Thank you so much 🙏🏽 I really struggled with finding a name!

Thank you Rina! The floor was a must - the previous tiles were broken and old lol. But I do agree, if it can be avoided I would avoid it too
Great achievement... ALL THE BEST

Wow this is amazing. You really turned that rundown thing you started with into a work of art. You are so beautiful too, and your clothes are amazing too. Please show more videos about your grocery store.
I had an Internet cafe, that sold teas, coffees, food, snacks, etc, to go along with the computer usage.
I had staff, but it was me only me that did everything. It was tough being the only person in charge.
I don't envy you, and what you have to do! Good luck to you and to your business!
A lot of my family member's own restaurants so I know how hard it can be... Thank you for your kind words!
This is very inspiring to watch. I remember opening my first grocery and pharmacy at the age of 25 in the island of Trinidad and Tobago. It has been two years now and the rewards are definitely worth it after the first year or so of grinding.

Good stuff🔥🔥 Congrats on opening your grocery store!!! I myself run a Indian grocery store as well in Cali but it’s a family business.

Thank you!!! :)
Where did you get the money from to purchase the store ❤
I am blown away! Congrats on dreams do come true!
Aww 🥰 Thank you so much 🙏🏽 Wish you all the best
Can you make a video on all your sources ? Where you bought each thing from ?
Also can you make a video on your financial breakdown?
Sure! Good idea :)
Tell us about the financials. How much was your loan? Down payment? Interest rate? Time of loan? How did you get/save down payment?
Took a small loan for $12k at 6% interest. The majority came from cash (savings from my previous business, jobs I had & sold some stocks) about 60k. It’s hard to qualify for business loans here so cash is the way to go. I also maxed out credit cards ($28,000) which are now paid off.
congratulation,i also wishing you the best
You’re so sweet! Thank you so much!
You are incredible, your dream was mine, but like they say location is important, good luck
