We are a company owned and run by the store owners to improve their business. We are an non-profit organisation with the objective of helping store owners make the most of what they have. We give group strength to individuals who want to run and stay in control of a successful business.
Looking after you
We only care about having happy customers and as a result happy retail members, if we visit your site and do not think it will make you the kinds of profit you want we will not open the store. We are honest and straight forward. We only forecast sales growth that we know we can deliver. In short happy retail members not profits is our objective.
Your Profitability
As a group of over sixty stores we have negotiated better buying terms then any individual store can. We work hard to make sure your pricing is competitive with the major supermarkets and that you have a healthy margin. We focus our promotional effort on increasing your wine business, especially the exclusive Next Door wines as they have twice the normal wine margin.
