The Vision
A convenience store operator should, by
economic laws of being a middle-person in the supply chain, be able
to procure competitive goods at below retail prices. |
|

With all the
budgetary restraints being placed on our child care system wouldn't
it be wonderful to conceptualize a "Market
Marky" that makes it easy to achieve related
efficiencies. |

In striving to find
ways to serve you best we
are exploring the feasibility of offering a shopping service. At present the geographic scope of this test market
trial will be within the boundaries of Hurontario Ave. in Mississauga east to Spadina
Ave. in Toronto and Lake Ontario north to Eglinton Ave. W.
In it's infancy stage
the concept will function as follows:
You fax, email or call
us with your shopping list and where you shop (e.g. No Frills, Dominion, etc.).
Let us know your desired mode of communications for scheduled orders and any
preferences for "picking time". Other helpful information is your consumption pattern,
any purchasing goals, etc.
Our goal is to increase
inventory levels on your regular usage items, complete with safety stocks when
required. At present our
inventory selection is limited to hundreds of SKU's (stock keeping units) versus
the thousands of the big box grocery stores. This means that what we can't
supply from our stock we will shop for you, at no additional charge, at the
store of your choice. You receive their prices with no surcharge or
delivery fee added. Should you require any non-grocery items we could
also procure them for you also: Just like Mom would have us do.
We will deliver the
purchases to you at a prearranged time and will be ready to receive your next
dispatch. All orders are C.O.D. and you receive the receipts.
As we are conducting a
test market situation success of this proposed venture will result when we do
indeed bring shopping efficiencies to our child care industry. We need
your participation to make this happen.
