Description:
The idea for my business starts with two things that have been very important to me for a big part of my life. The first thing is becoming an entrepreneur. The second thing is helping the environment. By creating this business, I look to fulfill both parts of my dream. I want to establish the first chain of convenience stores unlike any other retail store around. I want to create the first, all natural, eco-green convenience store.
There are many drug and grocery store that sell natural products. But what if there were a store where a customer can walk in, and know that they don’t have to go through the trouble of finding a natural product or get distracted by cheaper low quality products. How does this benefit the customer? By feeling good about purchasing items that help the environment. Another benefit would be products that help save money. For example, the eco bulb, which saves energy and saves money. Another example would be a sensor controlled light switch that saves energy and money as well.
