SLC31-W1: Shop & Share Challenge - Visit a Small Local Shop

Hello, @everyone welcome here.

This marks the beginning of our season 31 challenge. Every day we engage ourselves in either buying or selling something which today with the help of this engagement challenges the opportunity for sharing our real-life activity, promoting and supporting local businesses around us can be achieved.

You don't have to spend much in this challenge, but you have to be realistic about promoting your real-life activity with a local business that is nearby. This way, someone from outside your town can come shopping at your place, and what you share can become useful to them.

Without further ado, for this week shop & share challenge: Visit a Small Local Shop or a neighborhood store. A small local shop or neighbourhood store is a small retail shop located within a community or within a town that sells everyday essential items to nearby residents. In this kind of shop or store, a person can easily walk from his or her house to buy things that he or she needs quickly and go back home.

What To Do:

You don't need to go far beyond your locality, because all that you need to do, is to visit a small local shop or neighbourhood store and do the following:

✓ Buy at least one item from the store.

✓ Show the shop's outside and inside view, and how items are arranged

✓ Show the item that you purchased

✓ Show the receipt of the items if given to you

✓ Provide details that you know about the store like: (Address, Google map link, Google Plus code and Steematlas link),

---

What to Explain

✓ Tell us why you chose that shop

✓ The price of the item you purchased from the shop

✓ Your shopping experience.

✓ What do you think the shop or store owner needs to do to expand his or her business and tell us if the business is lagging in patronage.

Note: _{You must write a full review of the Small Local Shop or Neighbourhood Store and adding a video would be an added advantage.}
