I have been involved in the bakery and soya bean business for a long time and due to my business structure, I could not work on fixed hours in fixed locations. As such, I am willing to share expertise, JV with all who are keen to look into the Bakery and Soya Bean business. The profit is very good and my business plan does not requires much capital and can be operated with minimal manpower. Kindly reply on this forum and I will be happy to answer all questions.

are u drowning down the idea of selling soya bean will fail ? bubble tea craze did not fall but the people managing it did not do a proper job. like i say go to ubi ave i think blk 304 , u can see 2 bubble tea giants near to each other. it doesnt represent koi or gong cha but the appealing setup made me stop and buy a cup of caramel milk tea.

Kind of like the Bubble Tea craze several years ago, or the myriad of Mobile phone shops or hair salons. Good Luck. You are gonna need it.

Back home, we call this the lechon manok phenomenon. Basically, a small business idea becomes so popular than everyone would try to copy it to cash in on the popular such that you encounter a similar business every ten meters.

It's named after lechon manok (rotisserie chicken) where it became so popular in the 80's that every street corner had a stall selling the birds. It happened with pearl shakes, shawarma, waffles, cellphone shops, laundrymats, distilled water stations, internet cafes, chicken inasal, nursing schools, badminton courts, pool halls, boxing gyms, etc, etc, ad nauseam.

sorry i mean are u generalizing things too much ? 。Mr Bean did well i guess and people are still patronizing them after a long time. u cant rely just on trend because others will follow suit. Mobile shop and bubble tea are very liquid business , people who needs a drink or people who wants to buy a hi card doesnt have a think twice before committing themselves.
old phones have to go somewhere and there are always people looking for used sets. chicken rice stalls are everywhere why are there always queues for them even when they are just average ? mobile shops and bubble tea shops still remains top of my list because its hard to go bust on them , on the other hand (if allow me to generalize things) trends starters go bust on a more frequent basis . the major difference between trend starters and not, is they reap higher returns and also greater loss.
