Why are small town stores is still underserved ?

Typically, small town kiranas travel to nearby towns to source products from wholesalers and alternate discount channels. This restricts their access to a larger catalog and newest products that the consumer demands. They are also unable to optimise working capital or drive repeat business. There are multiple factors at play:

  • Logistical limitations
  • Limited store size and catalog
  • No access to products in trend
  • Unused and aging stocks
  • Limited working capital

How does StoreKing solve their challenges?

With its technology-driven platform, StoreKing opens up new opportunities for kirana store owners. It gives them seamless access to products, helps drive consumer loyalty and boosts their income.

I am a distributor of StoreKing in KGF,Kolar District. StoreKing is a digitized platform and has a mobile app which enables retailers to place orders easily. Retailers need not go to multiple points to purchase stocks to their stores they can place orders 24x7 and purchase exactly what they need. They can earn better profits with lesser investment. I am covering about 10-15 Kms radius from KGF, earlier retailers used to purchase goods from wholesalers nearby and they had to carry everything back on their own, now with the StoreKing business,they can place orders from wherever they are and get the products delivered to their doorstep. With the new concept of StoreKing called Super Franchise, we are able to deliver the products to retailers in less than 24 hours of orders being placed. This helped me doubling my business in a very short span of time.

Any issues that we or our customers face, Delar will help us to solve all the problems over the phone or sometimes in person. People from the head office do visit the store occasionally. Loans are helping us on time, We are paying back EMI weekly without fail. Before taking the loan our monthly turnover was 5 lakhs. We have developed our business after taking the Loan, now the turnover monthly has increased to 25 lakhs. It is really helping improve our business because of the loan given to us.
