@theplatformza: Edgars didn’t grow by simply opening more stores. They first figured out what was making the existing business inefficient. They reduced space, cut costs, improved store productivity and then started thinking about expansion. That’s the strategic lesson: growth isn’t always about adding more. Sometimes it’s about fixing what you already have before you scale it. Before you chase more customers, more staff, more stock or a bigger premises, ask yourself: “Is my current business model actually working efficiently?” Because scaling a broken structure just creates a bigger problem. #BusinessStrategy #BusinessGrowth #SouthAfricanBusiness #EntrepreneurshipSA #strategy

with Pick 'n Pay case, the issue is time. In Silverton, they were operating from 09h00 to 19h00 (Mon-Sat) and 08h00 to 16h00 on Sun. Then, Checkers took over the store operate 07h00 to 20h00 Mon-Sun. I also wish they find strength to open at 06h00, they will become more sustainable.

🥰 this was beautiful and well articulated. To confirm that you are right, I started struggling to put tenants in my 2 Bedroom apartments. After 3 years of struggle, I converted most of them into 1 Bedroom studios. I'm now operating at +90% capacity again.

Love it - they understand their consumer touchpoints. Their customer still wants to see & feel their products, not just digital so they keep their brick and mortar while focusing on efficiency. It would be interesting to know their revenue split stores versus online.
