3. Differentiate with personalization and fast pickup/delivery within Mexicali to compete against price-only stores.
4. Create event-driven sales calendars (Mother’s Day, graduations, weddings, Día de Reyes) and pre-stock accordingly.
5. Implement cost controls immediately: negotiate rent/lease terms, cap staffing hours to sales thresholds, and track contribution margin weekly.
