Feedback
I enjoy reading about your business idea. I love the concept. As I was reading a few questions came to mind. Your target audience are working young adults aged 25-34 with a salary range $35,000-$55,000. When I shop at my local grocery store, the organic products cost significantly more than the non-organic. Especially since inflation has caused an increase in all products. Have you started thinking about suppliers and where you are going to purchase your products from? How are you going to keep your prices at a level that will attract young adults in the targeted salary ranges? According to the “Organic Produce Performance” report for the 2nd quarter of 2022, organic produce increased in dollars but dropped in volume. (1).
I look forward to continue to see how your business plan evolves. The article and report reference below maybe a good source for you to use in the future.
