Bedeutung
Starting a retail business
Kultureller Hintergrund
The concept of 'Ngày khai trương' is vital. Business owners will often wait weeks for a 'lucky day' to officially open, even if the shop is ready. In the South, people often use 'mở tiệm' or 'mở quán' more frequently than 'mở cửa hàng' for small businesses. The first customer of the day is called 'người mở hàng'. If they buy quickly, it's a good omen. If they haggle too much, it's seen as bad luck. With high rent in cities like Saigon and Hanoi, 'mở cửa hàng' often involves a 'sang nhượng' (transfer of lease) process which is a common topic of conversation.
Use 'Quán' for Food
If you are opening a restaurant or cafe, 'mở quán' sounds much more natural than 'mở cửa hàng'.
Watch the Tones
If you say 'mơ' (dream) instead of 'mở' (open), the meaning changes completely!
