I have been in this industry for 4 years. Let me explain in detail the differences between the two types of stores. Which one is suitable for you?
1. Yogurt bar
Mainly yogurt, and most handmade yogurt needs to be stored at low temperature. Fortunately, if you are in a southern city, the temperature is quite high all year round, so the impact is not great. If you want to drive in the north, how many people are willing to drink yogurt in weather with several degrees below zero and heavy snowfall? ?
Pure yogurt bars also have high location requirements, such as shopping malls or pedestrian streets. Relatively speaking, the investment can be a bit more. After all, you need high profits to make money just by relying on yogurt.
2. Fresh milk bar
The fresh milk bar mainly contains pasteurized milk and a few handmade yogurts. This industry also has requirements for raw materials. There must be local dairy farms to provide raw milk as raw materials, process the pasteurized milk yourself, and then make handmade yogurt. This industry has good sales even in winter because of the hot pasteurized milk.
Fresh milk bars are mainly opened in communities or in front of schools. They are a business for this group of people. The prices are naturally not as good as those in commercial streets, but the advantage is that the rent and staff wages are low, and the investment is small. The most important thing is that the community stores and school stores have very stable customers.
For fresh milk bars, yogurt sales are not very good because the varieties of yogurt are relatively single.
I started out as a fresh milk bar. Later, I discovered the problems in this industry, so I upgraded the fresh milk bar and made it a combination of fresh milk bar + yogurt shop.
Because I majored in biological food in college, this is my biggest advantage. I have developed many yogurt products with high repurchase rate and high cost performance. I rely on pasteurized milk to increase the store entry rate. , as long as there is a store entry rate, my yogurt can naturally sell more.
Currently, my products include pasteurized milk, old yogurt, liquid yogurt, hand-cranked yogurt, purple rice yogurt, osmanthus rice-filled yogurt, five-grain yogurt, fruit pickled yogurt, yogurt ice cream, etc. For winter, I have also developed warm yogurt that can be heated, which can have high sales even in the cold winter.
