A supermarket should preferably be located in a highly populated and easily accessible area. It shouldn’t be hidden by other buildings.
2. Restaurant Business
Although one million naira is not enough to setup a well-furnished restaurant from scratch, it can help you setup the one which will be patronized by the masses. Restaurant business is a highly profitable venture.
Many people (students, workers etc.) leave home early without breakfast in order not to be late to wherever they were meant to go.
Man cannot do without food for long and as such, when hunger strikes, their next option is to visit the nearest eatery or restaurant based on their pocket.
A good restaurant should maintain cleanliness at all times, not many people would want to eat in a place where they’d have to be chasing houseflies. Also, just like supermarkets, good location is of essence too.
