So are you offering some sort of special milk or just dropping off what I can get at the store?

If you offer delivery of adhesive tape,too, you'll have a winner. Can you say franchise fees?

I would only pay for milk delivery if it's breast milk. >OT6 only. I accept all liability.

I don't see the business plan as being successful. Why not get a truck and drive around selling fruits and veggies? People like Healthy stuff. Mr. Okra does okay doing that.
Why would I pay for milk to be dropped off outside my house? It spoils, and it would cost more than from the store.
The idea may sound good to you, but you really need to come up with a better business plan.

you would be required to leave your cooler outside. many regions have this service now. Orange county in California has over 100 independent "milkmen". can beat CVS or Albertson on price. you go sell okra. This is not a new or novel business. twice weekly service to. you can always go to rite aid by your house and pay the same. happy motoring.

Why would I buy milk at CVS?
Posted on 9/19/13 at 10:23 pm to jjs337
Dont want a fridge outside. Dont want hot milk left out at the door. There is a reason that went away.

No shite. It's one that thrived until it was no longer demanded by consumers and disappeared.

hey I was just trying to help out, but if you have attitude, frick off.
This isn't hippy dippy Los Angeles or Seattle, you have no business plan, you have no idea of your demographics, and while you say you can beat the drug stores prices (who are actually cheaper than the supermarkets if people didn't know) you require them to buy $10 worth of your products. I was just giving you other ideas better suited to this region, but go ahead and deliver milk.

What kind of milk is it? Is it just putting a gallon, or half gallon on the doorstep? Or is it fresh milk?

he doesn't get it, he started this TD account just to ask these questions. Why start a business that has no target market?
The places it does work are places where people have a hell of alot more disposable income or live in a greater population density.
I will bet anything that he hasn't even set out a business plan, as he is on a forum asking for advice, rather than looking into statistics. People go to stores for milk and dairy, and have options.
Even Schwan's pulled out. What would be his projected ROI? How much would the daily expenses be for delivery? Twice weekly $10 of milk, I threw away a half gallon yesterday because I don't drink it fast enough, and it was $4.25 for that gallon. I would have to spend $10, twice a week with his service.
I really don't think he is thinking this through.
Happy Motoring? Okay AAA

Did you know the baker facility is set to close?
News came out yesterday.

Did you know Kleinpeter was getting into Dairy Fresh distribution?
So when the big dairies are losing money big time, you are going to come in, and you brilliant plan is to use a 19th century way of selling milk?
Also the price of milk fluctuates greatly. Have you factored that?

Dairy Fresh, which has operated a milk bottling plant in Baker since 1985, plans to close the Plank Road facility in mid-November, a move that will affect about 40 employees as the company consolidates its operations into its Lafayette bottling facility.
Fred Stern, a spokesman for Borden Dairy, which bought Dairy Fresh in about 2009, said the decision to consolidate operations in Lafayette was made to improve operating efficiencies and enhance competitiveness.
“This has been a difficult decision,” Borden said in a statement distributed by Stern. “We are committed to working hard to lessen the impact on affected employees and will be offering a severance package for those employees who remain with the company until the plant closes.”
No decision has been made yet as to what will happen to the Baker facility.
Did you know Kleinpeter was getting into Dairy Fresh distribution?
quote:
Stern said Borden is talking to farmers who provided raw milk to the Baker plant.
Dairy Fresh and Borden milk will continue to be available through local grocery stores, Stern said.
This is the second Louisiana dairy plant to shut down in 2013. The Oak Farms Dairy in Shreveport closed in late May, a move that put 170 people out of work.
Jeff Kleinpeter, president of Kleinpeter Farms Dairy, said his company is looking to hire at least “six to eight” employees from Dairy Fresh. “We’re in the beginning stages,” he said.
Kleinpeter said more employees will be needed because his company is looking to expand its distribution in the wake of Dairy Fresh’s layoffs. He said some of the independent farmers who sold milk to Dairy Fresh are expected to start distributing through Kleinpeter.
quote:
The closings of Oak Farms and Dairy Fresh show how tough things have been for the dairy industry, which has been hit with rising feed prices.
“This is somewhat of a shock year,” Kleinpeter said. “Things are tight for everybody. But we’re keeping our chin up and moving forward.”
