Opening a convenience store
No.. I am not, but I was wondering how that works when somebody opens it.
Do you contact your local tictac and doritos (etc) dealer for products, or do you go to some warehouse and buy them for cheap or what? How does it work? What about when you want to have the lottery ticket thingy....?
I'm just curious about these things. I also does not have to be lottery tickets, it can be a phone store, or anything.
Any experience?
Thanks.Rene K.

Its better to go through the company itself, when you buy directly though the company say for instance Frito-Lay you get free promotional items, credits on torn/opened bags, etc etc.
Say for instance you buy 100 bags of Frito-Lay products per month and you only sell 80, Frito-Lay will pickup those 10 un-sold OUT OF DATE bags (when they restock your shelf) and you will get credit towards the unsold bags, now if you have bought them say for instance at Costco/Sams you would be out of that money. All direct companies work like this. I worked at a gas station when i was 17-18 so i learned a bit.
Coca-Cola, etc all work like this.

When you open the store, beforehand you try to ask others about the best company around.
For example in NYC, you have more than 5 milk companies, you have to try or research beforehand to see which one suits you better.
There are wholesaler which would stock your store for 20-50 thousand bucks (depending on what you get).
But then you want to deal straight with companies such as:
* Milk
* Chips
* Soda/Drinks
* Candies (usually they sell tobacco too).
* Ice cream
* Magazines/Newspaper (you can have up to 5 different companies at the same time).
* Shelf sweets (again up to 5 different kinds, entemanns, lady, etc..).
