Some are big containers, others operate under the house while few are stand alone. Less than eight are own by the villagers. The rest are own and operated by tenants from other regions particularly from the Highlands.
The only big shop is owned and operated by a foreigner, Bangladesh origin.( Arebos club)
Porebada population is growing exponentially. They are even paying more for the goods and services at an exorbitant price.
With a working class of less than one thousand, it's just a fraction of more than 10,000 people who are living here along the fringes of the West Motuan coast.
The tucker shops are part and partial of SME business that the locals can participate themselves yet the hard earn cash are just given away at the pretext of buying.
The big shop makes an approximate of K2000 to K3000 per day. While the small shop makes around K600 - K1000 per day.
For the 20 shops that is operated by tenants, the Porebada community purchased an approximate items worth K22,000.00 per day. Money directly given to the shop owners.
In one week K154,000.00 is given out. In a fortnight K308,000.00. In a month K616,000.00.
In a year K7,392,000.00( K7.3m)
That's our hard earned cash making some one rich. Although the shop owners purchased new orders and paid rental. The profit margins are not publised yet quite hefty.
Those money can remain undisturbed in the purse of the community business rather than giving them away.
Nearly most stores don't pay taxes to our village councillors?.......
How do we manage it....in my next publication.
