The smoke of fireworks in the old city is getting stronger day by day. In a small street shop on Lujiabang Road in Huangpu District, the owner Lao Han bought a batch of cold drinks and started selling cold drinks this summer.
With the sultry weather for days, many citizens have greatly increased their demand for cold drinks. Ms. Chen, a resident who lives near the store, came to the store today and bought a large bag of cold drinks. Most of them were Guangming popsicles that she loved, and a small part of them were Menglong , ice cream cones, etc. that her children loved. , Ms. Chen told reporters that every summer she goes to a small store to buy cold drinks. The cold drink freezer here is equivalent to a small cold drink wholesale station, with rich varieties and affordable prices. She and her neighbors often visit it.
Many old customers said that the cold drinks sold in various convenience stores and supermarkets are not cheap now, with the starting price being 2-3 yuan. Only in small stores can you find cold drinks that cost more than 1 yuan, such as 1.5 yuan. The wholesale price of salt water popsicle is only 1.2 yuan for more than 10 pieces.
Store owner Lao Han said that there are not as many new varieties of cold drinks this year as in previous years. The few new products are new flavors based on the original ones, such as the new white peach flavor of Heluxue Melaleuca and the cute rose cone. flower series, etc. In terms of price, most cold drinks this year are the same as last year, but some varieties have increased significantly. The retail price of Guangming's salt water popsicle, mung bean popsicle, and red bean popsicle was only 1 yuan last year, but this year it is 1.5 yuan. The retail price of three-color cups last year was 3 yuan, and this year it is 4 yuan. However, small stores basically sell them at 20% off the retail price, and the whole box is as low as 30% or 40% off, which is also a small profit but quick turnover route.
