Independent retailers support their community
According to a survey by Convenience Store publication of their readers, 8 out of 10 independent retailers say their store plays an active role in supporting the local community.
98% of retailers that responded to the survey also said that a sense of community was still very important to local residents.
Independent retailers have long fought in the supermarket wars to keep their place in the heart of the community. Stores across the country supported National Independents’ Week in June, intended to send the message to residents that local shops are a vital part of any community.
