A SARI-SARI store exhibit, sponsored by City Supermarket Inc. (CSI), will be held in Dagupan on September 28-30 to promote this popular small-scale business venture.

Believed to be the first of its kind in the country, the activity is meant to attract sari-sari store owners and prospective entrepreneurs in Region 1.

Dagupan Vice Mayor Belen Fernandez, whose family owns CSI, said the event which is open to the public, will also feature a seminar on business management and viability, with top suppliers of consumer goods as speakers.

The three-day activity will be held at the 6,000-capacity Jimmy L. Fernandez Stadia just beside the CSI The City Mall in barangay Lucao.

Fernandez said this is her family company’s contribution to enhance and invigorate sari-sari stores whose services to the whole nation cannot be under-estimated, especially in these difficult and trying times.

Fernandez noted that from studies made, a P4,000 to P5,000 initial capital is enough to roll out a sari-sari store, which canserve as a secondary source of    income for a household.

The three-day Sari-Sari Store Exhibit will coincide with the launching of the CSI Super-Savings Cards that will be distributed to all sari-sari store owners so they can enjoy discounts in their purchases of goods at CSI outlets.

Musical performances by artists from Manila are also scheduled during the event.—LM
