Our little store room of fishy goodies!

So some of you have asked me to post photos of our storeroom... here we go!

the last container we got in...





Some other random shots taken over the last year....







I hope these shots fulfill the need for photos

 

Cool stuff Henk, fulfil the need nope - keep us wanting more oh yes.

 

When can i place a order for some food ?

 

Sorry Donny we only sell to the trade. Your LFS can order for you.

 

Ok no stress, will continue buying the foods, fish love it.

 

Take a full shot from outside...

And please tell me that little car next to the big trust is not yours???

 

@Zoom - it is indeed, my little city run about.

 

Ive always pictured you in a big 4x4 double cab blinged up with chrome trim, pink dash fluff, and purple dice hanging from the mirror (which has LED lights around like a production dressing room mirror!)

 

hahahahaha no i am pretty boring, Polo TDi and a volvo S60 t5....

 

Hectic! I see what you mean by containers... I hope to grow my business to that level soon! Nice job Henk.

 

Ok. The volve S60 is definitely a nice car. My wife will be very jealous when she sees it

 

That fish tank of his stole his Jeep to afford it's CO2 thing

Just messing with you Henk

 

@Sean J - its 6 years of really hard work to grow brands to the point where you order FCL every 6 weeks or so

 

Now to get it to 1.fcl every 3 weeks

 

hahahahah - we will then go up to 40ft FCL every 6 weeks - it costs only 30% more to do a 40ft than a 20ft. Obviously the stock costs one HELL of a lot more

 

BUT because you are buying double stock, you can organise a better discount from your suppliers... Thus getting better prices to us... Thus flooding the market with ML... Thus needing to order more... Thus getting even better prices... Thus getting even beter prices to us. . .

Or, you can do what the rest of South Africans do. Import more, organize the better price, but keep your current price list, thus making more instant profit, but never booooming the business.

Your choice. . . Short term profit or long term take over the market?

Heehee

 

hahahaha - doesnt work like that unfortunately. We are pretty good with the ROE and adapting our pricing. Most of our competitors up their prices when the ROE goes up but dont bring it down when it improves.

Genoeg kak gepraat - I need to finish harvesting plants for @tracyp and get going to Hermanus.

 

Back from Hermanus - Had a great time! I just found an email from MicrobeLift with some very interesting news.... cant say toooooooo much just yet but keep your eyes peeled

 

Something like beginning with an "s" and ending in "ship"?

 

oh no - the container got loaded last week already...
