Lagos has an already made market for your business proposal don't forget location and localisation matters in every business, moreso you will need an online payment system in Nigeria to explore all makerting strategies, you can contact us on www.owode.com for more information because these days technological advancement is also playing it's part in the growth of Nigerian economy.

My friend, dont be discouraged. If your have prayed about it and you are convinced it is what you want to do, please go for it.However, you must brace yourself for the challenges which some of the respondents have already mentioned.I am actually thinking about the same biz amongs others I am considering as alternative source of generating funds.

Like a few mentioned, you will need to address issues like power (phcn), I am thinking of investing on solar to combat that.
Security is quiet important, you may need CCTV, good security outfit etc. Security should be both internal and external. You may consider time of biz (closing time etc). I know a supermarket where I live (De Prince in Gbagada), that came up with an entry gate like what you have in the banks,that allows one person at a time and checks at the gate of your receipt.It may not be perfect but at lest something.Where to source your goods and price is also very important.

Location is important,but you dont have to go to Ikeja,Ikoyi,Lekki to start (you may when you grow bigger),there are parts of the country that is developing and population is increasing, if you get it right in terms of strategy and pricing etc, you can make it, in terms of numbers. You can come to Gbagada and find out how DePrince went about making it. I intend to do that when I am fully ready and yes I am thinking of starting in one of the new areas outside Lagos. So Ikorodu will not be a bad place to start. Do not despise days of little beginning, just be focused,hardworking,strategic (plan properly,do your market survey etc very well) and pray well (No matter how hard you plan, you will face unforeseen challenges). Hope to see you at the top. All the best.

Thank you everyone!!!

I just wanted to thank everyone that contributed to this thread. I stumble unto the thread by accident while I was researching on viability of opening a supermarket in Nigeria. I have read through all you comment without posting  any myself. You guys have shown tremendous insight on the topic and have helped greatly in my decision making. It's been seven months since I found the thread and I'm happy to report that  I have completed the infrastructure for the supermarket, registered the name and will open for business 01 Oct 2011.

It was unfortunate that the guy who solicited you help more than 4yrs ago did not see the need to update you all as to how far he had gone with his mega plan.  Once again thank you all.  By the way, I chose Owerri as my location, constructed a 3 story building to accommodate supermarket, gift shop, electronics and apparels.

I will start another thread relating to this similar topic and look forward to you 2 sense.

Revealed: WHERE IS THE CHEAPEST PLACE TO BUY FRESH FOOD ITEMS IN ABUJA.

It is not Wuse Market, it is not Garki Int. Market, No, it is not Karimo Market. Wrong again, it is not Nyanya market and it is definitely not Utako market.

The right answer is Belle.ng. Yes, that's right and surprisingly so. Take for instance, this Belle Full Indomie Noodles costs about #200 - #250 in other markets, but it is sold for as low as #130 here https://belle.ng/indomie-instant-noodles-belle-full-chicken-flavour . This giant snails costs between #450-#550 each in Wuse Market. Get it for just #199 on Belle.ng here
https://belle.ng/giant-snail-1-big-size .
This crate of eggs goes for between #1100-#1300 elswhere, get it for just #890 here https://belle.ng/egg-crate-of-30. This big, live catfish sells for #1300 elsewhere but buy it for just #700 here https://belle.ng/cat-fish-cut.

This Smoked Goat Head costs between #900-#1500 in other markets. Get it as low as #600 only on Belle.ng here https://belle.ng/goat-head-smoked.

There are more exciting offers in store. Enjoy the tour and please, don't fail to share this good news with your yard people�.
