The proposed new smoking bans have lit a fire under the
Gauteng Liquor Forum, and could these regulations spell the
end of cigarette vending machines?
This week, Aki Kalliatakis gives us tips on
how to keep customers in-store, not online; Gerard Eksteen shows us how to put the
'formal' in informal retailing; and Marcel Strauss shares the
habits of highly successful franchisees.
Go forth and prosper!
