Do you know what a stand-alone convenience store is and how does it work? This is a business model that promises to bring much more convenience to customers, being an excellent opportunity for those who wish to undertake an investment in licensing.

Next, we will present the idea and the mode of operation of an autonomous market. We will also introduce Onii and the types of products it offers.

Read on and get all that information!

After all, what is a stand-alone convenience store and how does it work?

A stand-alone convenience store is an establishment for the sale of products, located in common areas of condominiums or businesses.

The idea is for the space to function as a market, selling food, beverages, household items, and other items.

The operation of this type of store is quite simple and innovative. Users need to download an app, which makes it possible to open the space. To make purchases, simply choose the products you want to take home and scan the barcode.

Payment is made automatically and charged to the credit card registered in the app. Thus, the presence of an employee to serve customers is not necessary. This is what makes the business model very sustainable, while allowing it to operate 24 hours a day.

Imagine, for example, that the resident of a condominium has a young son, who ran out of milk in the middle of the night.

What to do in situations like this?

If the place has a stand-alone convenience store, everything is solved very easily! It is enough for the father to go to the establishment's container and make the purchase he needs.

No need to take the car and search for an open market in the middle of the night!

Are we talking about an innovative business model or not? After all, the products will be there, a few meters away from the customer, who will be able to access them in a practical way and without any type of bureaucracy.

What is Onii and where does it operate?

Onii is a startup created in 2019, focused on the proximity retail segment. The company developed a scalable business model, which makes it easy to operate anywhere in Brazil.
