After reading the tread about TSC.I hear some folks talk about the lack of or quantity of this or that in a store.I own and operate A True Value store for the last 19 months.We are open 7 day's a week and have a part time helper for two of them. The sales floor is 3000 square feet.The big stores like TSC have stock holders to gamble their money. In my store what comes in the back door in 14 day's needs to be paid for or it the clock starts the 16 % interest.I listen to my customers wants and needs. When I have a third or fourth person ask about do you have this I write it down. The store was in direr straits when I bought it .I am slowly building inventory 2 or 3 things a week.The government does not have programs for stores like mine. Like they do for young farmers loans and operating subsidy loans and such at lower interest rates for farmers and ranchers. I grew up on dairy and am now have been on both sides of the fence.Yes could I get a big operating loan and stock a lot more sure I could.But it would make the the cost of the inventory selling price to rise and then would or may not be competitive with some chain stores.So I best be dam sure of my stock that I do buy as it is my money I am gambling with.If I have pink garden hoses on the shelf because one person wanted them. I could be stuck with the rest of the case of them for ever. So what I want you to get out of all of this when you are in a smaller store and the inventory is not as full as you think it should be or they do not carry pink garden hoses that is most likely why.
