FEASIBILITY REPORT · SAMPLE
Grocery Super Store Feasibility Report Sample
A grocery super store’s success comes down to a fairly unglamorous set of decisions — how much floor space goes to which category, how inventory turns over, and how tight the margins on high-volume items can be run. This sample shows exactly how Sharda Associates evaluates these factors and presents financial projections to lenders through a structured, CA-certified feasibility report.

About the Grocery Super Store Project
What the project involves
A retail outlet stocking groceries, packaged foods, household items, and often fresh produce, dairy, and personal-care products, under a self-service or semi-self-service format. Scale ranges from a mid-size neighbourhood store to a larger supermarket format.
Core activities
Store fit-out and shelving, procurement and vendor tie-ups across categories, inventory management, billing and checkout operations, customer service, stock replenishment, quality control, and cold-chain handling where fresh produce or dairy
What Does This Feasibility Report Sample Cover?
- 1. Store format — size, layout, and category mix
- 2. Inventory planning — vendor tie-ups and turnover
- 3. Project cost — fit-out, equipment, inventory
- 4. Cash flow — operating-period projections
- 5. Location — connectivity and catchment density
- 6. Infrastructure — shelving, refrigeration, billing
- 7. Means of finance — funding sources and structure
- 8. Loan repayment capacity — debt-servicing and viability
Key Factors Considered in Grocery Super Store Feasibility
Store Format & Category Mix
Planned store size, layout, and the mix of categories to be stocked, since this shapes both investment and expected footfall.
Location & Catchment
Connectivity, residential density, and visibility of the store, since revenue is closely tied to how conveniently customers can reach it.
Inventory & Vendor Planning
Sourcing arrangements with distributors, wholesalers, or brands across categories, along with inventory turnover expectations.
Infrastructure & Fit-Out
Shelving, refrigeration/cold-chain equipment, billing systems, and store interiors, affecting both upfront cost and operating efficiency.
Project Cost Considered in the Feasibility Report
The feasibility report considers land and building costs, plant and machinery, utilities, installation, licenses, safety infrastructure, preliminary expenses, working capital, and contingency requirements to estimate the total investment needed for establishing and operating the project.
Land & shed/building—space for fabrication, crane movement, handling
Raw material (initial stock) — Stationery and basic household items
Pre-operative & contingency—licensing, trial runs, buffer
Plant & machinery — Refrigerated Display Chillers,Electronic Weighing Machines
Working capital — to run production between order cycles
None of this promises a specific financial outcome. It exists to show how the numbers are structured and arrived at, not to guarantee them.
Financial Feasibility of the Project
The feasibility report evaluates the grocery super store’s financial standing by assessing sales assumptions based on expected footfall, average basket size, and category-wise margins, alongside operating expenses such as rent, staffing, and utilities. It works out the working capital requirement, profit & loss projections, and a cash flow statement covering the operating period.
The report also identifies the break-even point and evaluates the project’s debt-servicing and repayment capacity against the proposed loan terms, arriving at an overall view of financial viability.
This section does not promise or guarantee any specific financial outcome — it only demonstrates how such projections are structured and evaluated in a report.
