What should my deli stock?

[Basildog]

The sacrificed table is hurting us, and tho' the deli sales are good, not good enough to keep the permanant chiller.So we will be reverting to a small portable chiller soon.Oh well, it was worth a shot.Avaliable shops in Padstow are crazy prices, so i think my deli will be a long time coming.

could you not stock all the goods at the back in the kitchen with a board/sign out front advertising what you have on sale? or do you think that people want to see the goods on offer?

It seems people buy with their eyes... the bigger chiller made better sales, as it has a better display than the small one.Having said that, people do occasionally ask, if the bread in the window( with a price on it!) is for sale...sheesh...people huh?

Basildog,

your breads do look well sexy.

Basildog, not to rub salt but check out this deli. They stock some of the best stuff and may be a good source of ideas. They're really enthusiastic about food and it shows.

It was recently reviewed in Inc. as one of the coolest small businesses in America.
