Franchising Monterey meat shop


How We Began

Monterey Foods Corporation (formerly Monterey Farms Cosrporation) began in 1969 with one 1,200-hectare cattle ranch in Isabela. In 1980, it became a subsidiary of San Miguel Corporation, the Philippines' largest food, beverage, and packaging conglomerate.

Today, it is the country's largest hog and cattle operation, with the latest technology in feed milling, breeding, livestock raising, slaughtering, meat retailing, and meat processing.

Monterey meat products are part of everyday Filipino life. With its "farm to market" concept, the Filipino consumer is assured of quality meats for every meal.

How we Reach our Consumers

Monterey's commitment to total quality extends from its farm to its countrywide distribution network.

Its quality meat products are delivered by refrigerated Monterey trucks and are available in a variety of Monterey outlets, namely Monterey Neighborhood Meatshops, supermarkets, and Monterey satellite outlets.

There are already more than 300 outlets operating nationwide.

    I am interested to franchise Monterey Meat shop.. Is there any financial institution who can help me finance this business?

    Sandiagrace, banks are still the traditional sources of leverage. The hard part is they require either a collateral or a track record. If you don't have both, chances are you won't be able to acquire a loan from an financial institution. You're best bet is partnership. Find somebody with money but doesn't have a no how. That's how I started my business. I got the money... I partnered with somebody with business skills for the first branch only. As our business grow we both put in money as capital. That way we split the risk for second attempts. We lost 3M for our third branch yet we're okay because we split our losses are well. Partnership is great!

    This franchise is suicide. The other independent meatshops will eat you alive because they are more flexible when it comes to pricing. Qualitywise, they have an at par or sometimes better meat quality compared to Monterey.

    How did you lose 3M on your third branch?

    I have a franchise and for me, it's doing quite good. The business is great and I'm planning to open up another one. I do not agree with the meat quality not being better than the others. All branches have different people working for them and different managements. So, I hope you don't generalize that all Monterey meatshops are like that.

    It greatly depends on the location as well...I got my capital back in less than 6 months...

    I am another person from the other one who says that the meat at Monterey is not as good as other meatshops'. From what I know from walking by the local Monterey Meat Shop, their business is not doing good. Yes the meat are sometimes too old already since no one buys a particular kind of meat for a few days. Then, the reputation got worse and lesser amount of patrons for the store already. And for the pricing, the meatshop at the market sells freshly cut meat daily; me, my neighbors, my co-workers all go to the fresh daily market to buy our meat, we don't really shop at Monterey. Hmmmm.... Do I miss something here?

    I agree with most of the comments here but if you take a REALLY good look at the figures the margin would be at about 5 percent minus your cost of goods sold and the automatic 3% deduction for royalty and sales over and above the profit they make from the deliveries. So that 5% margin per sale will be spread over your overhead amounting to a sales volume of AT LEAST 5 METRIC TONS of pork and beef per month to get at least breakeven per month anything after that then the "feasibility study" given by the franchisor can be believable.

    Monterey franchising SUCKS!!!!!

    I also agree from past comments, it's suicidal if you join to franchise from it. looks like you'll gonna lose all your savings just to franchise their small meatshop, and they will earn only from you and not to the costumers. the products are great but honestly, the over pricing of your products, constructions and other packages sucks!!!
