c. The thrift store This store sells clothes donated by people in exchange for a voucher for a free drink and piece of. After being sorted by volunteers, young, elderly or unemployed people, the clothes will be repaired if needed and displayed in a small part of the shop to be sold for a fair price in the thrift store. 6. Key resources: what do our value propositions require? Without the volunteers, the business will not be able to survive. Every kind of help, including knowledge, will be welcome. For example, volunteers may be a former chef or a retired lady who has a secret apple pie recipe, a handyman, or a former library worker. We will also need donations of clothes and furniture to furbish the shop and provide the thrift store with clothes and products to sell. 7. Key partners a. Who are our key partners? For the three key resources, we will need to create strong partnerships with local suppliers from the region. To create a learning community, we must develop strong partnership with different institutions, such as retirement homes and local associations as distributors of our surpluses in food and clothes. We also want to create partnership with schools and local producers of goods. b. Who are our key suppliers? Which key resources are we acquiring from partners? Which key activities do partner perform? Since the shop will aim to be self-sufficient in terms of energy, we will install solar panels and a water tank to be our own energy suppliers. This will promote green energy while reducing our long-term costs. In addition, one-third of the food will be grown within the shop in the garden, taking into account that every season has its own vegetables and fruits and seasonality will need to be considered when completing the card and cooking lessons. 120
