To say that the shop is truly a health Spaza, or even to say that Fevertree as a company has any claims on it is not entirely true. The ownership of the Health Spazas is in the hands of local township dwellers. Fevertree?™s role is to assist them to set up the business and give them the required training to operate as a small business and as health product consultants. As it is a new idea, and in the world of new ideas, people are usually a slow species to catch on, the Health Spaza has diversified itself to the extent that it is also a Photo Spaza, taking ID photos, licence photos, and photographs for all occasions. This diversity is the hallmark of the Fevertree spaza business model. Strangely enough the two odd bed fellows, photography and health products seem to complement each other well, at times the photography drawing customers to both sides of the business, and sometimes the health products attracting customers.

The scope of the spaza business model also includes for new and innovative products and services, for instance we have identified an awareness and need for solar power. Another issue is that of whether the Spaza should be mobile or static We anticipate that other ideas will surface in time, and we would like to encourage our readers to submit ideas to us (1 million brains are far better than two or three).
