Have you got your fruits and veggies supply sorted?

I'm your girl if you haven't. Base on Jos levels...

Chemist009:

I haven't, we can discuss that later

naijacutee:
Great idea - as this is actually one of the few businesses which promote a healthier lifestyle. People are increasingly conscious about eating healthy, so this is a growing market.

I'm guessing you're looking to grow something like Nuli.

For your budget, I'm also guessing that you already have a space on a high-traffic area, and it probably isn't a very large space. Your ideal location is a crowded space with high foot traffic where people are in a buying mood, and where they are likely to get thirsty. Like a small stand in a shopping centre or a modern market.

If my assumptions are right, and location is sorted, then you probably won't have enough for a relaxation area like Nuli. You probably need a set up where people can grab fresh smoothies/juices on the go.

One of the things you have to think about is whether you will have space for a sink to wash/peel fruit or will you wash, peel and refrigerate them before taking them to your site?

Basic equipment you will need:-

- Powerful juicer/blender (N90,000) (https://ogadiscount.com/product/ninja-11-piece-kitchen-system-with-nutri-ninja/)
- Fridge (N140,000) (https://www.thermocool.com.ng/products/home-appliances/refrigerators/hrf-200-lux-refrigerator)
- POS (Free through your bank)/Cash register (N90,000) (https:///product/quorion-cash-register-1616773)
- Cupboard (N40,000)
- Clear cups (N30,000) (https://www.amazon.com/TashiBox-Disposable-16-Plastic-Crystal/dp/B01HHQ40IC/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?keywords=bulk+plastic+cups+lid&qid=1577744240&sr=8-3)
- Branded stickers (N10,000 for 200 stickers) https://printivo.com/category/stickers
- Signage and menu (N100,000) signagekings.ng
- Initial ingredients supply (N100,000)

Total (N550,000)
The rest for unforeseen expenses.
It is possible - go forth and conquer 2020!

Chemist009:

Something like nuli, yeah.... Spot on

Viking007:
There's a spot like this in Maitama, close to my office. I'd suggest you get a suitable location in a highbrow area, not in a place like Nyanya, because it seems it's only the middle class - rich that patronize such outlets.

Chemist009:

Yeah ..... And it means I have to avoid Maitama and Gwarimpa- cos I know of one in Gwarimpa

Viking007:
Rent alone in Abuja will take your entire capital. My sister pays almost 900k for her shop.

naijacutee:
Absolutely. It is better to select a lucrative area where you get anough footfall to cover your expenses and make a profit than a cheap area where you can't make sales to cover your expenses not to talk of profit.

This is why it is important to visit your proposed site, if possible eat in a restaurant and count the number of people who pass by during the time you're there. Then do your break even analysis and work out how long it will take you to break even.

Chemist009:
... Hello fellas! Upon rigourous research, I have made up my mind to set up a Juice Bar in Abuja for obvious reasons..... Budget is between 700k to 1 million. So, sincere advice, contribution and opinions wanted. Still doing my analysis though ..... Thanks
