We run a successful Convenience Store and Farm Shop in a small village in East Sussex, United Kingdom.

Although the village boasts a population of just 300, we have been able to build a business from scratch in 2010 and generate gross profits in excess of 35% on turnover of around £1,000 per day.

When starting out, I wished I had a “how to” guide to ensure success. Nothing was around so we dived in and made our share of mistakes along with many successes and it is these successful elements that this site will address.

Not everything in this site will be relevant to your business but if you follow our advice for what is, the contents of these pages will turn into retail gold for you.

We wish you every success in growing your business.

There is a wealth of information here for you to digest and I am adding to it all the time.

I suggest you "Cherry Pick" and implement the ideas that work for you, maybe try a few, review the results and continue on to build your success.
