“I opened another business in May last year: 7/10 Mini Market. It sells snacks, fruits, vegetables, beverages and a wide range of consumer goods. It is uniquely positioned near the beach which has high tourist volumes. One other competitive advantage is that we open seven days a week, so we cater to our customers’ needs even on public holidays when most shops are closed.” ‘’I encounter many challenges, the most prominent being the seasonality of our business. It has highs and lows, depending on tourist traffic. But all in all, business is good and above all, I am happy.’’ | BANZA BUSINESS
