Liquor World

Stocking a liquor store in Roodepoort means managing supply chains across the Johannesburg metro, navigating the weight and logistics of bulk orders, and keeping shelves rotated to ensure freshness. The work involves understanding what locals actually drink — the beer brands that move fastest, the wine regions regulars return to, the spirits that sit longer — and balancing inventory accordingly. Summer demand spikes around December and January when entertaining peaks; winter brings different patterns. Temperature control matters too, especially for wines that bruise in Gauteng's summer heat. A well-run store is built on these practical decisions: what to stock, how much, and how to keep it in sellable condition.
