Hi,
Iam interested in exploring the idea of opening a Indian Grocery
retail store in US (Bay Area). I'd appreciate if anyone can help me
get started on this. Some of the initial questions that would get me
started are: Where do I find the wholesale distributors for Indian
groceries? Can I just buy from 1 distributor or do I need multiple
distributors? Approximately what is the initial investment needed?  In
general what are the profit margins? any other useful information.

As you can see, my goal is to come up with a detailed business plan, so any
information (statistics, distributor comparisions, web links, news
etc.) you can provide towards that will be great.
Thank you.
