Local Business Review: Learn About IJ Best Ventures, Orji, Owerri, Imo State.

Good evening everyone. I welcome you to this week's extraordinary contest. You wonder why I call it that? We rarely acknowledge the importance of road side / street business when it comes to value in Nigeria even though it is there that the main business happens. Let's see exactly how the common man manage to survive in the street business...

IJ BEST VENTURES.
what3words

This business venture deals with so many things but all food stuff...

Aunty Ij and I

The owner of the place is Imo State woman who likes business and everything making money. Aunty Ij as I fondly call her is a money collector (akawo). This is the busiest she started with before she also diversify into collecting money from people and every six months,she shares things...food stuff too. From there again,she opened this business that her son manages.(that's the boy with sachet water, her daughter and husband).

THE THINGS THEY SELL IN THE SHOP.

Due to the connection with distributors because of her 2nd business, she sells things in bulk (wholesale) and retail too ;

• Bags of rice
• Bags of garri
• Yam
• Stockfish
• Beans
• Spices
• Tim tomatoes
• Dry kpomo /fish
• Gallons/ bottles of red and Vegetable oil
• Cartons of indomie / spaghetti, etc
  She recently added fresh tomatoes and pepper to the list.
  No one enters that shop without buying something.... you can do a complete shopping there. And she occupies two warehouse in the name of shops!

All her wares are very important in the family so, families buy from her because her things are cheaper than others. That's where I do all my food stuff shopping. She's hardly in the shop because she goes around for her collections...

This is her daily contribution business for food stuff. What to get at the end of every 6months depending on the amount you chose. This part of her business keeps her going around from afternoon till night. I believe it's lucrative.

Another thing people usually buy very well is Garri. A paint of garri from her is #900 (white) about 6steem and #1000 (Yellow) about 8steem against what others sell. How wonderful it is considering garri is the main food of the common man. She sells Ebonyi State garri.

This is one local business that booms in my street. I will bring another one to your notice tomorrow. Just anticipate it ok. Cheers! Regards to@steemalive, @focusnow, @ ngoenyi...
