Abstract:
Neighborhood stores are at war! The small “Mom & Pop” stores who’ve kept Main Street going and “Downtown” vital for years are being battered by the giants; the chains, the big box, and the super stores. The Goliath’s of Wall Street want the small stores, out of their way, out of the mix and out-of-business! Late in 08’ the economy pulled a sneak attack from the rear, business has slowed, credit has dried up, vendors and suppliers have gone under and unemployment is rising. As in the past, as we have always done, we will continue to stay Customer Focused and do “Whatever It Takes” to survive then thrive.
