Easy Day Shop: An easy way to venture into retail and entrepreneurship

MANILA, Philippines - Most people nowadays are looking for ways to increase their household income. For some families, this entails both husband and wife working full time; or trying their luck abroad as overseas workers. Some also venture into direct selling to generate extra income.

This extra cash is used to ensure a family’s solid future, provide quality education for the kids, fund an early retirement, or in some cases, start one’s own business.

But preparing to be an entrepreneur and starting your own business is not an easy decision and task to undertake. Choosing a business to invest in and manage can be daunting especially if it requires starting the enterprise from scratch. Understanding how a business operates, establishing a network of partners and suppliers and harnessing tools and resources are just some of the challenges that one will need to hurdle if they want to succeed.

Suy Sing, the country’s leading one-stop wholesale grocery distribution company, believes in offering success-driven individuals who want to engage in a long-term business opportunity with its Easy Day Shop community grocery store franchise.
