For pushcart at $25 per day ... i will say that it is relatively high as some pushcart does not even charge for that.where is your pushcart locate at?
hmm. 1st time encounter a pushcart that charge for the utilities.

wow. so expensive.... with $25 per day you will have to pay ard $750 plus 1800-3600 for the whole month? is that in a prime location? will you be able to cover back your cost? that is really very expensive leh...please reconsider if you have yet to take that up....

If 100-150 per day, then i believe that you can give it a try,,but is your pushcart at a good location? cause some shopping centre have pushcart that is not very visible to the shopper.

not a problem at all. yar you should look ard 1st as i believe a high rent will result in good crowd...no point paying for the lowest pushcart ending up with no sales ..Right?

Pushcart for $2-$10 a day?! where is it?

Re: $25 Per Day for Utilities
 
oh my! all you poor people!
when I WAS still in my retail biz, there is NO such thing as utilities bills. Even $1 per day is RIDICULOUS! cos they HAD already included that in the rental already (mind you).

I've stopped my 7years of retail biz only less than 2years, yet so much have changed. Wow! I've been paying Flat rate, that is JUST the rate of the pushcart rental, and that's it!

the shopping centres are REALLY into squeezing the pushcarts tenants dry... that what it appears to me!

WOW! That show how wost the business for us now. Customers ask for lower prices, shopping ctr ask for high rental fees. :(

Current no $$ to go a head for this kind of pushcarts, better go for flea market and my online shop at the time being...
