New retail shop in Cork

    We are in the process of opening a new shop in Cork and would like to talk to any wholesaler/business with product. Were looking for anything to do with Pc/laptop/pc-laptop acc/phone/game/TV acc/phone acc/flatscreen/office stationary etc.
    We have a very small retail unit up and running at the moment and its going about 9 months now , What we do at the moment is Saorview/free to air/sky etc sale and install. but we have secured a larger unit on a much busier street at about the same rent so on paper the move is off to a great start. Our problem starts when it comes to stocking it out.We would like to talk to anyone who would be interested in getting involved on any level. both people involved have years behind them selling above products and we have the capital for shop move/fit-out etc just not stocking such a big unit. We would be interested in talking to any company or person with suitable stock who would like to talk to us on this.

    Thanks

    Start contacting uk suppliers. Its the only way you'll get the prices to be competitive.

    Your minimum orders with each of them are going to be between €1000 to €1500 and when you start talking about laptops and Tv's its multiples of that to get the best prices.

    If you want suppliers names PM me exactly what your looking for.

    sounds like you are under capitalised for such a move.

    One option is to try and see if there is an interest by others in a concession within the store - mobile phone repairs/computer repairs/mobile accessories.

    You charge them a rent / commission and trade within your store and take responsibilty for their own stock.
