Steemit Engagement Challenge Season 2 (Week 3)| Local Business review: Tell us about a market, shop or business in your City

This is my the fourth entry in the engagement contest for the week3, today I am participating in Steemalive community, where we were requested to make a business review of a shop/market, Before I proceed I will like to invite my friends, @lhorgic, @kawsar @ruthjoe @goodybest @simonwigwe @rad-austine @msquaretwin to participate in this contest.

What is the physical address of the shop/market? (Include what3words location coordinates)

Here is a chemist shop in my town, I live in a very small town, of which the occupation here is farming, the shop is located close to the African church of the town on the east wing, it's located in the sales area of my community at ajegunle close to Christ the rock apostle mission on the west wing of the town, it situates in block 2 out of the number of blocks available in the building.

A chemist deals with the sales of medicinal drugs, a place whereby drugs are sold to people, but also deals with other goods like drinks, beverages, and many more, unlike a pharmacy that only sells medical drugs in combination with no other goods. In a chemist shop, we can find biscuits, soft drinks, alcoholic drinks, beverages, and many other provisions, some even sell breads. I don't have a comprehensive list of all of the drugs in the shop but with the little time I was able to look around and take these images

Capture at least 4 products sold in the shop/market and write about them

Some shops don't give you the privilege to do things like taking a picture of their goods, skepticism, yea, you know the drill, but with this shop the case was different I was permitted to do so without obstruction

Below is an image of a cross-section of the chemist shop whereby all types and products of drugs are being sectioned. As I have said above, these drugs are sectioned according to their uses, like malaria drugs are of different kinds, and all products of malaria drugs are sectioned in a different box and this also applies to multivitamins, cough, cold and catarrh, blood tonic, ulcer drugs and many more.

There are lot of drugs available ranging from gender and age, I took the time to ask for their price and what each of the drugs is used for. These drugs are sectioned according to their uses, like malaria drugs are of different kinds, and all products of malaria drugs are sectioned in a different box this also applies to other drug like multivitamins, cough, cold, catarrh, blood tonic, ulcer drugs, and many more.

The reason for this I guess is because of easy access to identify drugs according to customers' symptoms, if a customer is showing malaria symptoms, it is easy to navigate to the malaria section and pick the product that will sort the malaria sickness.

In one corner, she has a freezer that refrigerates all of her soft drinks, she sells drinks like Pepsi, Fearless, bottle/pure water, Comando, maltina, coca-cola, and bigi products, only Nigerians will understand these soft drinks products.

How much are the goods sold in local currency and steem equivalent

In the aspect of drugs, the prices depend on the product of the drug given to you, for example, a malaria drug can cost 1500 naira(11.3 steem) and other malaria drugs can be lesser or more than, the prices of drinks are also varied as a result of the high inflation of goods in the country, I remember buying an origin bottle of drink for #1500(11.3 steem), a baron cost #1700(12.8steem), the dry gins are of different sizes and prices as per products, we have the one of #700(5.3steem), #1000(7.5 steem), #1500(11.3steem).

The prices of beverages for example small and big refill milo (#700(5.3 steem), (1200(9 steem), small and big refill bournvita(700(5.3 steem), #1200(9 steem), Dano refill milk big and small (#700 (5.3 steem), #1200(9 steem), tin milk (#300(2.2 steem), cornflakes (#1000(7.5 steem), family biscuit (#400(3.02 steem), the like of disinfectant are detol (#500(3.7 steem), harpic (#750(5.6 steem),

Did you buy anything from the shop/market? Tell us about it?

_{image from my iphone8 plus}

Of course, I did, I bought a blood tonic, a Dr. Meyer product named Ferotal extra tonic, I haven't bought this type before but as she recommended it, I decided to add it to the list of what to buy, I usually buy an orepthal blood tonic and if I can't get that because maybe it's out of stock I buy Bunto instead, Well, I hope it meets up to its recommendation, I bought other things too like, cornflakes and Dano milk, I usually take this at midnight when working on Steemit. The cost of goods bought from the shop is #3000(22.7steem).

Rate the market/shop based on your shopping experience or what you already know. Your rating will be based on factors like location, price of goods, quality of goods, etc. Let us know what you think about the shop/market

Giving a rating to this shop based on my shopping experience as per the location, which is in a very nice location, mostly crowded on Sunday because of the close link of two big Church around the shop, the prices of good at this shop is a very considerable one, She sells original goods from drug to drink and beverages.

I think highly of this shop because she offers better prices of goods compared to other shops that inflate the prices of goods and also she cares a lot about her customers as such she has a good customer relationship which makes people patronize her every day.
