I live in Mississippi an I applied for a small business minority loan to open a bakery in my home town. The loan was only for 10,000.00 an they want me to put up my house. I thought by going through this minority loan would give me a low interest rate for my start up business. I have a very good credit score an bake the best cakes and cookies around.

BLACK AMERICAN GROCERSTM (B.A.G.)
We’ve Got a Brand New Bag!!!
A Concept Paper
By: Richard Younge
Executive Director
South DeKalb Business Incubator
INTRODUCTION:
African Americans are struggling to compete in every industry, but none more than groceries and restaurants. There are only a few that have been able to maintain grocery stores; a few more with convenience stores and the names on the restaurants change all too quickly. The ones that remain open are having a difficult time supporting their personal lives and they are generally in sales tax trouble.
This is not a problem that is peculiar to Black America, it is the never ending problem of the small independent, sole proprietor, who cannot purchase enough quantity to get the best prices from suppliers and who’s advertising budget consists of hand bills and annoying fliers on car windshields.
In 1926 small grocers all over the U.S. faced a similar problem, The Atlantic and Pacific Tea Company (A & P Stores) were sweeping the Nation. The independent operators were going out of business in droves. An accountant by the name of J. Frank Grimes began to work with these small grocers and they formed a Merchandising Cooperative Called The Independent Grocers Alliance (IGA). Today IGA (Home Town Proud) operates in 48 states and 42 countries and have over 4,400 members who cumulative gross over $21 Billion per year.
These are small stores, but check the prices in the window as you pass by one: T-Bone $2.99 per lb, Oxtails $1.79, Chicken Wings 7.99 for ten lbs. Their meat prices are better than the major chains. Their stores have traffic every day and they are making money. Their national advertisement makes them highly visible and most people think they are a national chain as well.
The cumulative purchasing power and advertising clout have allowed these small stores the ability to compete and defeat the Great A & P Stores, as well as many subsequent chains.
THE NEED FOR THE BAG:
Today Black America, Urban and Rural have been nearly eliminated from the grocery business. The vast majority of the stores we have left do not have the revenues to reach the IGA thresholds. Most of our food operations are restaurants and caterers, who face a similar problem in terms of pricing as their competition is purchasing well enough to provide all you can eat for their customers. There are a few convenience stores and a handful of legitimate grocery stores that are struggling for survival.
Banding all of these fledgling operations together in a merchandising cooperative such as B.A.G. will allow them to come to critical mass in terms of purchasing power. Which means that they will be able to purchase goods at the best possible price. Many, entrepreneurs have the idea that they can build a chain of stores beginning with one store. This is a dream that will not come true. In today’s economy you must have a strong organization and very deep pockets, because you must begin to buy at the best prices from the beginning. Operations that have grown from a single operation either began prior to or during the time that the giant chains were forming. However, it is possible to grow a chain of stores under the auspices of the cooperative.
The cooperative structure is perfect for African Americans, because we prefer to be independent operators as opposed to operating in corporations with many stockholders. In the coop format the little guy can use economies of scale in purchasing and advertising and still remain his own boss and hand his successful small business down to his children and grandchildren.
HOW CAN WE DO IT:
Obviously, the cooperative must first be formed. This is a time consuming process with numerous meetings. If a group can be formed that is not easily discouraged the rewards can be phenomenal. The coop will elect a Board of Directors and appoint operating officers. There will be a need for some financing to pay a couple of employees. There will be membership dues that will also help to offset operating costs.
During the process of establishing the coop an operating plan will be formed, the plan is completely designed and approved by the membership. The methods may include the establishment of a central warehouse. The coop may use a single manager, who acts as buyer, advertising manager, administrative executive and distribution manager. The manager may have an administrative assistant. Some coops begin by purchasing only a small variety of the total inventories of their members, only the items that they can buy at better than market prices. These special items can then be cumulatively advertised to help build traffic in each store. A common logo would be established and erected in a prominent position on the front of each member operation, and the advertisements would broadcast “Available wherever you see the BAG Emblem” or something to that effect.
The beauty of having a common logo is that each time a potential customer passes one of the operations it advertises all of the others. If I am in Atlanta and I see a BAG logo in Southwest Atlanta and I see another in the West End and I see another in Decatur and yet another in Southeast Atlanta, pretty soon I am going to say, “maybe I should give this BAG a try!”
With increases in membership come increases in purchasing power, soon you could be at the point where you could purchase enough quantity to purchase direct from the factory, the packing house or the field. Now you are really purchasing with power. The BAG should work with the Federation of Southern Cooperatives to purchase produce direct from the field. Tomatoes for $.05 to .10 per lb, watermelons for $.50, when you can buy the whole crop you can get them for unbelievable prices. The same thing applies in meats and canned good when you buy in enough quantities.
We can’t cover the entire concept in this paper, but what must be understood is that competition does not begin at the point of soliciting for customers. If you can buy it right you can sell it right, otherwise you simply look like you are trying to gouge your customers and the truth is that you are not making as much profit as those who are charging less.
SUMMARY:
There must be someone who steps up to be the person to drive the coop to success and there have to be some special rewards for the person who assumes this task. We believe that coops can be the backbone of a new class of African American Merchants, who can compete for the business coming out of our communities. We are convinced that a success with a coop such as the BAG will inspire cooperative efforts in a broad variety of industries.
We need cooperatives in every industry that deals with commodities. With such tools we can win back our ethnic hair care industry; we can use coops for clothes, shoes, furniture, house wares, auto parts and imports. However, let us take one step at a time, as we get ourselves a “Brand New BAG”!!!
