Steemit Engagement Challenge Season 2 (Week 3)| Local Business review: Tell us about a market, shop or business in your City || by @tamighty
INTRODUCTION
Warm greetings everyone in this space.
I hope you all have been coping with the weather condition of this time. It's been so cold here but I am coping quite well.
In this week of the Steemit engagement challenge, we have been told to review a local business around our area. That is just what I want to do. I am going to review a shop where drinks and provisions are sold. Drinks is the major item sold here. The provisions are just addition to attract customers. The name of the shop is DAMIS DRINKS AND PROVISIONS STORE.
What is the physical address of the shop/market. (Include what3words location coordinates)
The shop is located at Ile Iya Oyinbo, Mayowa Nursery and Primary School, opposite College of Health Technology, Oda Road, Akure, Ondo State.
Capture at least 4 products sold in the shop/market and write about them
Like I said earlier, the major items sold at the shop are drinks. This are alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks. Wines of all kinds are sold here. Also provisions like beverages e.g bonvita, Milo,milk, etc, food items such biscuits, noodles, tooth paste, spaghetti, and so on are all sold there.
The products sold in the shop are arranged in shelves, some e.g the sachet provisions are hung on the door while some like biscuits are kept inside a show glass.
How much are the goods sold in local currency and steem equivalent

| 6. Oral B | #500 | 4STEEM |
| 7. Hollandia Yoghurt | #800 | 5.8 STEEM |
| 8. VITA Milk | #600 | 4.4STEEM |
Did you buy anything from the shop/market? Tell us about it?
Oral B toothpaste is the one I use, so after checking the expiry date, I took it and paid for it. It only cost #500, which is about 4STEEM. The price was nothing different from the market price.
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
Based on my shopping experience, the shop is just a mini shop but very standard. It does not have everything one may need to buy but it is well furnished and neat.
The first time the owner came to the place and I saw her arranging her stuffs. When I saw it was drinks she wanted to sell, I was like why drinks. I felt the market won't pay much because the location was too quiet for such. But along the line, she added provisions and some food stuffs to make it boom and that made things better.
As for the price of the goods, it is moderate enough. It is within the price others around the street sell. It is just a little addition that is added to the market price so a little profit can be realized.
The quality of the few products sold are cool. All the food items have NAFDAC registration number which certifies a product to be edible. Also the expiry date on each of the items shows they are safe to buy and seun or eat.
Conclusion
The lady that sells here is just about two months old in the location. She moved from another state where she sold same products to Akure. From what I see, she is serious with the business which makes her punctual to work everyday. She has been able to get few customers including myself. She is very friendly as well. This is a major quality for business growth. She's got it.
I have successfully reviewed Damis Drinks and Provisions Store. I invite @merci26, @sikan-eyen and @drqamu to participate in this contest. Thank you!
Nice review, Damis store is well loaded with enough goodies and it looks really neat and presentable.
@tamighty i need some cornflakes please.
Yes it is well loaded.
Send some steem so I can buy and waybil for you.
The truth is that, wine alone wouldn't have move in that shoo without the additional of those food items. Because man must eat. The more poeple are going to buy food items, the will as well buy wines too. Please this Oral-B toothpaste, is it of how many types.? The last one I bought really disturbed me.
Checking the rules
Checking Post Quality
Good review of a shop in your area, we have a lot of the here too, the store are small but mighty and also they may not have all of the goods compared to the big supermarket but at least they are always available to save us at night when we have forgotten to restock with salt or matches 🤣 I have been in several positions on this issue.
Thanks for your wonderful review
You are very correct. One can not always go to the supermarket for small stuffs. So this one is serving me because it's just beside my place of residence.
Glad you understood my point
Good Wishes
You are welcome sir
You have given excellent reviews about this store and you have presented your post in a very nice way. Besides, you have shared the photography of the product, they have presented it to us in a very beautiful design. Your entry was very good.
Thank you for your positive comment.
You are a good business man, i imagine how the owner of the shop will feel when you bought oral-B from his shop.
Again you have placed value on his shop, did you help him put his business on google map?
Hello @ijelady.
I am a lady, not a man.
I didn't put the business on Google map anyway. I just like to patronize people around me.
She did well by adding more stuffs to the things she sells, that's what a good business person does; meeting the various needs of customers.
Thanks for sharing your review with us.
