Due to the multifunctionality of such rural stores the retail owners must be able to handle a variety of tasks. Four factors are especially important and vital in order for a multifunctional store to be successful and are bottlenecks which this project will attempt to solve:
1. The retailers’ roles and competence levels.
2. The commitment from the communities.
3. Institutional frameworks.
4. Distribution
Following this, it is important to develop retailers’ abilities to address these factors. They must be good retailers, of course; however they must also deal with different issues associated with social services, entrepreneurship and the various multifunctional services which are offered in addition to the regular grocery store retail.
RRR project staff helped to overcome the bottlenecks of establishing multifunctional stores and supported the start-up and running of these kinds of stores.
- Provide retailers consultancy on developing the best store models
- Provide multi-functional retail entrepreneurship programmes locally and trans-boundary in face-to-face work shops and via the Internet
- Implement the best multifunction retail strategy models for the participating retail shops including service/ product selection planning
- Put in place and implement transnational collaboration (training, exchange of experiences and contacts between retailers, consultants and partner institutions)
- Set up a functioning e-retail platform
