"I've been a neighborhood grocer for 21 years," listened to business coach Alon Gal on his program on Radio 103FM. "In the last 7 years there has been a drastic drop in sales, it doesn't even cover expenses. I wanted to know how to change the place if I wanted to continue." Alon explained the difficulty today to the container owners: "They are on the verge of history, an extinct whale," he said, giving the ultimate solution, claiming, "First of all, it is a store of Feldman ice cream and all things like the little gifts for birthdays, erasers, sharpeners, stories "If you want, I'll also connect you to someone who has a store like this."

Alon also gave an example explaining why this store can gain momentum and succeed unlike today's grocery store: "If, for example, parents are looking for prizes for their children's birthdays, they will come to the store and shop."
The listener wondered what he could do with all the goods he had left at the grocery store, Alon replied: "Go to all the containers and writers around and sell everything. Paint the walls in your place and line up the shelves with all the little things."
