Woolmart

What separates a general dealer that thrives from one that barely survives comes down to stock discipline and merchandising. Woolmart succeeds because they understand what works: competitive pricing on staples so customers return regularly, clean organisation so people find items without frustration, reasonable freshness on perishables if stocked, and enough variety that one trip covers multiple needs. Good general dealers manage margins carefully—not racing to the bottom on price, but realistic enough to draw regular shoppers. They know their neighbourhood's demographics: young families need different inventory than pensioners; office parks nearby create lunchtime demand. Stock control matters more than size. Reliable supply chains, fast inventory turns, and staff who know what's in store separate the retailers customers trust from those they avoid.
