6 Daily Store Maintenance Tasks when Opening A Dollar Store
With the huge number of people walking into and out of your dollarstore everyday, it soon begins to get a dirty, dingy, disheveled appearance. To keep things looking bright, clean and inviting there is a need for a daily maintenance routine. The sheer number of shoppers entering, shopping and then leaving is rough on everything. Then there are the shoppers who come with muddy, dirt-caked shoes and boots, children who run wildly about scattering merchandise, candy wrappers, and other debris everywhere. There are those shoppers who change their mind and drop items they have decided not to purchase right where they stand.
If you are opening a dollar store a good strategy to keep cleaning and maintenance under control might be to implement a daily store maintenance checklist. Tasks to include on the checklist are:
Task #1) General sales floor organization and safety. Implement a store walk-through program. Be sure employees cover every aisle in the sales area routinely throughout the day. Displaced items should be returned to their proper location and everything should be properly straightened.
Task #2) Floor cleanliness can also be covered during routine dollarstore walk-throughs. It is important to keep the floors clean to avoid permanent stains and to eliminate potential slip hazards as well.
Task #3) Cash register area cleanliness and organization is extremely important. Cash registers act as a funnel for traffic and all purchases obviously occur there as well. As a result unpurchased and moved items accumulate quickly. Floors and countertops become soiled. This is an area requiring constant attention.
Task #4) Windows seems to be magnets for fingerprints. Make sure all windows running along walkways for your dollarstore are spot cleaned on a regular basis. Make sure 100% of the windows are thoroughly cleaned on a monthly basis as well.
Task #5) Lights that are dim or burned out need to be replaced as soon as possible. Reduced lighting can result in reduced sales for that portion of your store. When opening a dollar store make it a practice to note dim and burned out lights either at opening or closing of your store each day. Then replace those bad lights as quickly as possible.
Task #6) Store inspections for damage should be done routinely when opening a dollar store. Employees conducting store walk-throughs can inspect for and report damage and excessive wear after each walk-through. More thorough inspections should be completed on a weekly and monthly basis as well. Make sure to inspect for flooring that is damaged, chipped or lose. Don’t forget to inspect walls for damage. Damaged or broken display fixtures are everyone’s responsibility. There’s nothing to compare to the unexpected surprise and potential injury to shoppers when a loaded end cap collapses just as they pass. Store inspections should also include looking at general organization and overall store safety as well.
