SKFE FOODS
One business that is familiar to people, is the grocery store. Grocery stores, ranking amongst the
largest of industries, are located throughout the country in many ranges of sizes and handling a variety
of goods. Some smaller towns no longer have grocery stores because of either small populations or they
are located within a short driving distance of a larger city.
After our research that we had complied we came up with some facts that we want to bring to
your attention. Our grocery store is going to consist of our customers basic needs. For our goods and
services we are going to have traditional grocery items, including but not limiting to, fresh meats that
our butcher will custom cut to your specifications, produce, such as tomatoes, fresh carrots from the
local grower, potatoes, and etc., canned and frozen foods, and dry goods such as flour and sugar. Our
nonfood items include household goods, health and beauty care items, pet products, and greeting cards.
We will cater any event that you may have, such as a birthday party, graduation, or just a get together.
Our local florists will provide fresh cut flowers every day for our customers.
SKFE Foods has chosen to bring a grocery store of 50,000 square feet carrying an average of
45,000 items on 5 acres of land into Harrisburg, SD. This size of store is above the average size of 46,000
square feet (FMI). Harrisburg is showing continuous growth and the older people in the community
want and need more convenience. What these bigger chain stores dont take into consideration when
buying out smaller stores, closing them or down-sizing them is that those older, smaller communities
usually have many elderly people living there that cant get around in the fast paced bigger cities causing
them to rely on their local marketplace.

In researching grocery stores, we found that in 2008there were approximately 85,200 grocery
stores of which approximately 25,900 were convenience stores (BLS). SKFE Foods has been in business
for 25 years bringing to their customers the finest fresh meats, produce, bakery goods, and a deli
department serving the public nutritious meals three times a day every day. We take pride in servicing
our customers in every way possible through excellent customer service. One of our many services to
the public is ordering by phone or online. By ordering ahead, the groceries will be ready for pick up at
the customers convenience. The customer also has the choice to have their groceries delivered to their
home.
After consideration with the hours a grocery store is the most active, and the times where there
is not much traffic, we have come up with a convenient time for our store open and close. We hope that
these hours and times will be the busiest and most profitable. Thus our hours are going to be from 6 am
to 12 am. Due to the rapid growth of Harrisburg, we do believe these will be the most effective times.
Upon our establishment in the community we would like to consider and evaluate being open 24/7.
Employment opportunity is excellent due to the variety of hours available for high school and
college students or anyone seeking a part-time position. Cashiers are the largest occupation in the
industry with courtesy clerks or baggers following. The store managers have multiple duties consisting
of: supervising all employees, setting rules or store policies, hiring employees, maintaining good
standing with the community and customers. They sometimes monitor inventory and the stores profits
or losses. Usually the store owner or company has office management that handles the accounting
system so that the manager has more time to spend on overseeing the store. We have come up with a
plan to have stockers at night so our customers may shop in a clutter free environment and to be able to
use our employees in an efficient manner. The minimum requirement to work at our store is to be at
least sixteen. If you are applying for a position in the bakery, meats, or deli you need to have a high
school diploma or equivalent.

Numerous job opportunities will be available for first-time job seekers, people with limited job
skills, and those seeking part-time or alternative work-schedules. There are many employment
opportunities in grocery stores, whether it is full-time or part-time because of the high turnover.
Grocery stores have a high turnover due to the younger employees moving on to better themselves
either through education or a better job. First-time job seekers usually start their work experience by
finding employment at a grocery store.
Our managers use business specific software to manage budgets, work schedules, track and
place food orders. To be qualified as a manager at our store you must have great communication skills,
strong initiative, excellent leadership ability, and be detail oriented. The larger conglomerate grocery
stores have front-end managers or supervisors that oversee the cashiers and baggers, train new
employees, schedule hours, and oversee sales activity. SKFE Foods has managers for every specific
department with a front-end manager to oversee the employees but will not be responsible for tracking
sales activity.
The purchasing manager has now been replaced with a new type of manager, a category
manager. The category manager does basically the same thing as what a purchasing manager would but
they must understand the consumer preferences thoroughly. A category manager will order the correct
amount and the right package size of a specific category item. He or she will be able to market the item
successfully. Specific categories would be diabetic or sugar-free items, gluten-free or low in cholesterol
items, ethnic foods, gourmet, organic, and all the natural grains that were once and still are available at
health stores. Product demand, sales trends, and profitability will also be the responsibility of the
category manager. The category manager will listen to comments from customers and other
department heads on adjusting future orders, planning budgets and how to display new or slow selling
products. Managers receive a monthly salary and sometimes a bonus based on the stores performance.

SKFE Foods offers excellent benefits for our full time staff consisting of: health and dental
insurance, an eyeglass plan, a cafeteria plan, sick pay, and vacation pay. We will employ approximately
45 part time people with wages competitive for the industry starting at $8.50 per hour and 30 full time
people. We are an equal opportunity employer.
Wages in the grocery store industry are lower than other industries which are due to the entry-
level or part time positions. The table below shows a comparison of our wages to the national median
average wages for the grocery store industry.
Occupation Our wages National Median Wages
Supervisors/Managers $17.50 16.90Butchers/meat cutters $15.00 13.98
Bakers 12.90 11.39

SKFEs dress code is a casual code but yet professional. We want our employees to feel
comfortable while they work. Our employees must be able to bend, twist, and lift up to 50 pounds. The
employees must have an easy-going personality because work can be hectic and stressful at times.
In conclusion, SKFE Foods is a great place to work. If you have good customer skills and want to
make a difference, come join us at SKFE Foods.

Lincoln County Development Committee
1000 Main Street
Harrisburg, SD 57008
Dear Development Committee:
The SKFE Foods partnership would like to expand their business to your community. We have
surveyed your community and have concluded that your community would benefit from our services.
Your community is growing but is still located a distance away from Sioux Falls. This is where we come
in.
We would want to purchase 5 acres of land to construct a building of 50,000 square feet. Our
business would offer the best fresh produce, delivered daily, and the finest quality of meats which will
have a butcher on staff at all times to answer any questions. Our bakery department will bake daily;
while our deli department will be open for sit-down breakfast, lunch, and dinner 7 days per week, and a
small floral shop.
We will be offering online grocery shopping with optional delivery two times per week, and will
provide catering services for any event. We will be open from 6 am until 12pm seven days per week with
restocking the shelves done after 12pm. Our holiday hours will be limited so that our staff may spend
holidays with their families.
By allowing us to come into your community, we will bring in revenue and provide jobs with
excellent wages and benefits for qualified individuals. My partner and I have many years of experience
in the business, and we know that we can provide many benefits to you and your community.
I will contact you next week to set up an appointment to discuss our proposal for your
community. If you would like to speak to me before then, please call me at 605-555-5100.
Sincerely,
Karla Fox
