Premise
Being a retailer of so many SKU’s is hard work that requires mamy employees with combined afforts. To be successful in Business does not mean you have to be a retailer and be able to sell hundreds of thousands of SKU’s very well; if you are a producer, you only have to be very good at selling one.
Our small team spent a couple of hours at our Wal-Mart’s, Targets, and other popular Convenience/retail Stores to assemble this list of entrepreneur opportunities based on products at a large retailer.
In this segment taking ideas from a retailer means being in production of products. To sell items to a retailer you need to make an original, or substitute product, that reaches some target market and sells through. You could also take multiple of these ideas and start a store around that department but that requires more capital.
A company that typically sells to Target, Wal-Mart, and other retailers; manufactures, or supplies one or more products of the following types. Large retailers need specialized manufacturers and suppliers to keep many items in stock for different departments. You could start a product of any of these items and sell them to retailers in large amounts.
