“It’s a good time for this sort of business. The US consumer has become far more educated, sophisticated, and choosy. The days of truck-driver coffee, industrial produce, flavorless mass-market bread, and bland chemical cheeses are over — and many consumers are willing to pay for the good stuff.”

ShareYourPassionforFood

“Passion is an important factor for success. It will actually differentiate you from some of your competitors. Customers will come to you because you love your products and enjoy teaching people about them, having them sample them, etc....People love to shop where the owner drips passion. Passion is contagious—your staff will be spurred by it and you’ll attract better salespeople. Your passion will also make you a better salesperson.”

Gourmet and specialty stores have an advantage over supermarkets andgeneralgrocerystoresbecausetheycansellitemsthelatterstorescannot.Regulargrocerystoressellalimitedvarietyofthemostpopularitems, and maybe a gourmet selection or two, but they need to sell to a broader clientele. As a result, they have to stick to the same garden varietyselectionsyou’llfindinmostgrocerystoresthroughoutthecountry.

In short, you get to make a living doing somethingyoureallylove.(Theexceptiontothisisfranchisestoreowners.However,thelackoffreedomtochoosemerchandiseandotheraspectsofyourbusinessisoffsetbyotheradvantages,asyouwillseein Chapter 3).

“You need some part of this business in you, something about it that you are really passionate about, something that drives you to work as hard as it takes to succeed in this business. Whether it’s a passion for the products you sell, or for seeing a smile on someone’s face when they get exactly what they want. This is what gives ‘life’ to your business.”

— JoshuaRussTupper,Russ&Daughters

“Anyone who has the will power to actually go through the steps involved that lead you to open your door for business on that first day should be congratulated. There are so many elements involved, but I think the bottom line is you really have to enjoy what you do and that will lead to a more rewarding sense of success. Success does not always come financially early on, or maybe ever, but the actual journey that you will take from beginning to end should be the reward.”
