Opening A Dollar Store - Retail Hours are Demanding
by Bob Hamilton
Are you considering opening a dollar store? If so, never discount the demands that are associated with having a business that operates during retail hours. As with almost all retail businesses long hours and varied hours, including evenings and weekends will be required of the independent owner-operator. In fact retail stores are typically open 10-12 hours per day, often seven days per week
For most who are opening a dollar store retail hours will mean that they can expect that they will need to work ten to twelve hours per day, seven days per week during the start up phase of the business. If you are in a shopping mall of any kind your actual hours of operation will be dictated for you.
During the start up and early growth phases of you business you can expect that as the owner you will need to be on-site or readily available to help your new employees as they learn your policies and procedures and the demands of their specific jobs. Phone calls can and will come before during and after store hours. This is all just a part of the challenge of opening a dollar store.
Many is the time that I was awakened from sleep after working twelve or thirteen hours due to a false alarm from our security system or by a supplier from a far off location who didn't recognize the time zone differences. That is all part of the responsibility of business ownership associated with opening a dollar store.
It is also a great reason to identify employees who can be trained or who are already capable of assuming more responsibility. As employees are trained and come up to speed after opening a dollar store they will require less owner hands-on support. They will be able to handle the routine tasks of store operations without help.
There are many things to consider before opening a dollar store. The long hours associated with the retail industry is one of those considerations.
To Your Dollar Store Success!
