“There is a thinning of independent stores, we want to support areas to have more than just chains and carbon copies. We believe in the retailers getting out there and doing their thing, rather than being forced into corporate chains. Independent shops not only offer variety, but a customer focused service that’s nice for us and our shoppers.”
