Shameless plug - I'm from Asturias. Currently, I'm trying to bootstrap a startup which will sell high quality food at reasonable prices from small producers. A bit of a romantic idea.
Supermarkets, especially those in Northern Europe, need to get disrupted. They're an oligopoly making truckloads of money by selling products of dubious quality at unreasonable prices.
Cider is obviously among what we are stocking. It's a quite unique thing, I think. If anyone wants to do business in EU/US/Far East just let me know via my profile.
- karambahh 12y agoWorking with "northern european" retailers myself, I can tell you're in for a bumpy ride (their scale is so huge they can basically force your suppliers to stop supplying you if they want to), but there's definitely a market for food at reasonable prices from small producers. Good luck in your endeavour!
- TillE 12y agoThis is sort of tangential, but I think anyone opening a specialty food store in Berlin could do quite well. Particularly in terms of foreign beers. I'm aware of precisely one place in the entire city (Berlin Bier Shop) that stocks any Belgian beer at all.
