Not everything in Ace Hardware is sold at harga yahudi.

Most of their US imported cleaning products are sold at reasonable price when shopee/lazada sellers are selling them at harga yahudi. Almost half the price of harga yahudi in shopee/lazada.

Well, be a smart consumer and compare the price. If you think it isn’t worth the money, don’t buy. I mostly go there for cleaning products only. Whatever I can find in other shop, like product from 3M, rubbermaid, karcher & etc2, I will buy somewhere else.

Regardless who is the financial backer , you guys seriously think someone will just simply invest in a business just like that ? MR DIY will probably need to prove their ability to make money first before someone willing to put in big capital to back them up .

They prove that their business model work , and i am pretty sure they have make big promise with the financial backer in order to secure the fund . Promise that common people like us will say "Are you crazy !!!"  . They make money in their small venture , they willing to go big to look for financial backer with their small success , then toke those money and make it bigger.

Most will probably content if you have a shop making 1 million revenue .

Exactly. Also, most businesses have some sort of investment to some extent. People don't realize that a lot of investments fail as well. But Mr. DIY made it big. People just like to comfort their own ego by thinking otherwise.
