$KOSK The micro market model is more viable than ever, as the costs have dropped to about $1,200 per location, and they are able to serve anywhere from 50-300 users profitably, whereas there used to be a minimum required user count of 300 to reach profitability in a location. Today’s consumers are looking for a variety of options, cost effectiveness, and instant gratification. Micro markets are able to meet all three of those criteria better than existing solutions, such as supermarkets and vending machines. They are the pinnacle of convenience, but they offer a wide array of dining options at an affordable price; micro market shoppers no longer have to choose between convenient and affordable variety.
