No it isn’t. There are lawyers who actually work in volume (which is its own argument for tort reform) but the risks are worked into the equation.

The risk is taking on a product that won’t sell. In a grocery environment you specifically avoid that.

Business risks.

Like over expansion for example or the actual products sold?

Pharmacies just went through a contraction and merger based on them trying to be corner grocery stories. Not sure that’s calculated in the average profit margin

Like a store folding. Like hurricanes.

Those are costs. They are worked into the business model. Profit margin already includes costs.

:rofl: Who told you that?

In a large business? Come on now. I am not talking about a corner store or a 10 store operation

Store closings are worked in once it becomes obvious that there was expansion into areas that didn’t need or over expansion.

So many large grossers are specifically self insured against things like hurricanes which means the expense has to be calculated.
