2.0 Business Description

FreshHarvest Supermart is a modern grocery retail outlet designed to provide high-quality, competitively priced grocery items to middle-income and working-class families in Lagos State. The concept arose from a gap in the Lagos retail food market—where informal markets are overcrowded and formal supermarkets are overpriced for most consumers.

Lagos, being Nigeria’s commercial nerve center with an estimated population of over 22 million, presents a robust market opportunity for grocery retail. Our store will be located in Ogudu GRA, an area known for its mixture of upper-middle-class residential estates, schools, and small businesses, creating a favorable customer base for essential household shopping.

2.1       Unique Selling Proposition (USP):

·       Competitive pricing with frequent discount offers

·       Clean, organized, and air-conditioned shopping environment

·       Loyalty programs and digital payment integrations

·       Reliable customer service and fast checkout systems

·       Online pre-order and delivery services for convenience

2.2       Vision Statement:
To become a household name in Lagos for quality and affordable grocery shopping.

2.3 Mission Statement:
To provide exceptional value and convenience through a well-stocked, friendly neighborhood grocery store that prioritizes customer satisfaction and community engagement.

2.4 Business Model:
FreshHarvest Supermart will operate a brick-and-mortar store, supported by a hybrid retail model with online pre-order and doorstep delivery services within a 5km radius.
