Grocery Store Financial Plan

Key Revenue & Costs

The revenue drivers for Freshley’s Grocery Store will be the food and beverage items it will sell at the grocery store. The goods will have a small markup from the cost to procure the items and the revenue will come from the products sold at retail cost.

The cost drivers will be the cost of the food and beverage inventory. The main cost will be what they have to pay the local farms to procure the meat, poultry, produce, and dairy. Dan and Jan will also work with various distributors to find the best pricing for typical grocery products. Other cost drivers will be the rent, payroll, and overhead costs.
