Vino 100 is a wonderful business to operate, especially if you enjoy people. Our customers look forward to visiting our stores and discovering the new wines we have to offer. Our approach is one of developing customers who become our friends. We try to learn their likes, dislikes and preferences in order to cultivate ongoing relationships. Most importantly, when a customer leaves with a smile from learning something about our wines we feel that we have done our jobs properly. Even better, we know that he or she will be drinking the wine and returning very soon for more!

So we developed Vino 100, a different type of wine store. Vino 100 offers our customers a comfortable, affordable and fun way to buy wines. We created a store design that ensures that the wine is the star. Each wine is showcased on its own pedestal accompanied by our unique Vino 100 Wine Barometer tm, a graphic, easy-to-understand wine rating and information system. We capture this information in our Wine Palate Computer System, and use it to tailor our marketing efforts to further strengthen our relationship with our customers.

While the amount of inventory will vary from $25,000 to $90,000, depending on several factors, an estimate for the initial inventory and supplies of a typical store is about $50,000.
