Does walmart offer lower prices than other stores?

That is a tough question. Umm... no. You would never know unless you knew every store in the world. And their are probably other stores that have lower prices, such as Serrendipity that only sell their items for $1 each.

It depends on where you live. I grew up in a town of about 15,000 with no chain grocery stores. However we did have a mall with stores such as JC Penney, Target, and K-Mart. For groceries it was Walmart hands down. For everything else it was a toss-up.

I now live in the Seattle area with major grocery chains like Safeway, Albertsons, and Fred Meyer. Here Walmart is much less competitive. I did some research today and noticed frozen pizza, spaghetti sauce and chips were cheaper. While I paid more for milk, cheese, and frozen chicken.

I think I'll save myself the huge crouds, depression and long lines by avoiding Walmart in the future. Besides the other chain stores probably treat their employees well, give them health insurance, and don't buy all their stuff from China.

Do walmart business practices raiseslower standard of living?

For many, Walmart's business practices keep them in the same place that they were before taking the job. Walmart's wages are low, so getting a job with them doesn't change people's lives.

Can you buy an item from Walmart and return it to a different Walmart?

Yes, but if you do not have a receipt and that walmart doesn't carry the item you are trying to return (hence, the item is not in the store's local inventory and cannot pull up a price for the item) then you may not be able to return it. If you have a receipt and its within the return period then you sure can.

How much does it cost to open up a WalMart franchise?

And in the UK

We have 83-90% of all sales are VATable, leaves.

Royalty at 12.5-13.5% (depending on location in UK)

Food costs are now 30-33%

Vat on sales account's for about 17.5% of all sales (average 85%of sales hot or eat in HMRC investigation 2009 BTW Subway lost the appeal)

Labour costs around 22-28% (excludes holiday and sick entitlement)

Breakdown:

30-33 % Food Gross Sales

24% Labour Gross Sales

17.5 % to HMRC Grosss Sales

12.5 % to Subway Gross Sales

£400- £600 a month utilities

High Street Rent average £1700 PCM (waste disposal, accountancy, insurance, repairs wear and tear e.t.c)

Oh and the average Subway store sales are around £5500.00

Here's the breakup:

--------------------------------------------------------

Royality + marketing = 12.5 % of gross sale

Food Cost = 28 to 31 % of gross sale

So the average 40 % of gross sale is gone for above too.

Rest 60 % of gross sale is spent on :

Rent, Electricity, insurance, garbage, telephone , accounting,employee's salary, misc).

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here's the example:

If you have Subway of $1000 (365k yearly) as an average sale per day, Here's the breakup:

40% of 365k for Royality and food : 146,000

4000 average rent for 12 months : 48,000

Electricity, insurance average for 12 months(1400*12) = 16,800

Garbage, telephone , accounting misc for 12 months(500*12) = 6000

Employee's salary for 12 months ( 5000*12) = 60,000

Sale Tax(NY) 8.5% on gross sale = 29,200

Net profit before tax = 59000

(365000- (146,000+48,000+16,800+6000+60,000+29,200)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Your profit can increase or decrease by Rent and Employee's salary.

The average selling price of SUBWAY with above gross sale is 200k+.

Experience shows that leaving your job and investing in SUBWAY with

similar sale is advisable if you also plan to work in store and save salary

expense. Owners of Subway with sale below 300K yearly are not making deserving profit and their are tons of them available in market.

See the following article. Gives a good backdrop and analysis on Subway: http://thefranchisehound.com/?p=266
