Running a Small Shop is a Tough Job
When I was growing up, the corner store was a convenient place to pick up a half-gallon of milk, a loaf of bread or any other household staple that had run out. You could also go to the corner store to pick up stamps, some ibuprofen or a bag of chips. Depending on where you’re from in the US, you might call this place a deli, a convenience store or a bodega. These stores are a kind of neighborhood pantry and seemingly exist in their own versions in different countries. Whether you’re in India, Mexico or Kenya, you’ll see this local retail shop phenomenon repeat itself under a different name.
The small shop is a vital lifeline of communities and is also at the center of a complex ecosystem. First, these shops sell to millions of low-income consumers, to whom they sometimes extend credit. Shops also buy from a range of suppliers including manufacturers, wholesalers and distributors, such as the Coca-Cola tuk tuk drivers or random hawkers that pass by the shop. Often a solution to last-mile distribution challenges, shops act as points of sale for airtime or as cash in cash out (CICO) agents, usually for multiple operators and for financial institutions such as banks. Unlike supermarkets, shopkeepers establish personal relationships with their customers. Going to the corner shop is more than a mere transaction, it’s a moment to socialize by chatting about life matters, family and the weather.
