Alero Specialty Market
<p>Amersfoort and Utrecht City the Netherlands has a great scarcity of traditional African, Surinamese and Afro-Caribbean fresh food, clothing and beauty products. The closest supermarket or grocery that offers these food or products is over 51.4 kilometers away from Amersfoort and Utrecht with limited selection of fresh produce, cooked African meals and beauty salon. This distance is also difficult for African’s who don't have access to reliable transportation or gets very busy with their jobs tight schedules.</p><p>By converting or dividing a reasonable size store space we can take care of all these needs under one roof and thereby creating an atmosphere for a nice African and Caribbean community who can stop over for their food items, plait their hair, buy traditional things which makes them feel like home even though they are outside the shores of their country of origin.</p><p> </p><p>We will offer fresh produce, cooked take away snacks, light meals and a part time beauty salon which will help our customers get their hair done. Our cooked meal will be done from my home for the very first few months, to reduce the cost of cooking equipment’s which we will as the business progresses. Alero Market will be more than a market, our neighborhood storefront will be a center for our local and the larger community to come together as they buy groceries, pick up lunch, have a coffee break, to learn about different cultures or take a cooking class short time lessons from other customers.</p><p> </p><p><img width="100%" alt="" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/514000/EC9D3A55-B9D1-4E40-B8E6-A88FC9C5104D-1525788885.JPG" /><img width="100%" alt="" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/514001/africa-1525788908.jpg" /><img width="100%" alt="" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/514003/IMG_4653-1525788946.JPG" /><img width="100%" alt="" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/514004/Untitled-3-1525788975.jpg" /></p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p><img width="100%" alt="" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/514005/Untitled-2-1525788991.jpg" /><img width="100%" alt="" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/514006/wigs-1525789011.JPG" /><img width="100%" alt="" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/514008/xpression-1525789034.JPG" /><img width="100%" alt="" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/514009/prod-1525789052.JPG" /><img width="100%" alt="" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/514010/products-1525789068.JPG" /><img width="100%" alt="" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/514014/IMG_4706-1525789249.JPG" /></p><p><strong>Keys to Success</strong></p><p>The keys to success in Alero Market are: </p><p>Offering items of a high quality-value relationship which are not available everywhere.
