Store Supply Warehouse Offers Essential List for Independent Retailers

St. Louis, MO, March 29, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Opening a store is a very exciting prospect; and a lot of work. When opening a store, you want to make sure you have all the essentials. Plus, in today’s economy, you want to make sure you are spending your money efficiently. That is why the executives at Store Supply Warehouse have compiled a list of necessary supplies in order to get your business off the ground.

“Starting a retail business can be quite overwhelming,” said Matt Wohlstadter, President of Store Supply Warehouse. “Even making a supply list can be difficult. You don’t want to order too much but at the same time, you don’t want to forget an essential. That is why we are dedicated to helping new retailers put together a custom supply list to help you get a jump start.”

Store Supply Warehouse has a section on their website dedicated to opening a new store. It includes a request for information and links to small business industry sites. In the new retailer section, retailers can also request a new store opening guide.

“Think about the design of your store. What type of décor do you want? Research shelving, display units, fixtures and accessories to decide on a complete look for your store. Select pieces that will coordinate with your logo, merchandise and retail space,” said Wohlstadter.

There are certain store supplies that almost any retailer needs, these include:

· Merchandise Bags
· Cash Registers
· Receipt Paper
· Boxes and other packaging
· Pricing guns and tags
· Surveillance Equipment

Different types of stores will obviously need different supplies. For example, a clothing retailer needs to purchase the following items:

· Clothing Racks
· Hangers
· Mannequins
· Display Cases
· Size tags

Then, don’t forget about commonly overlooked items such as:

· Vacuum cleaners
