An ode to all independent retailers ♥️ I closed my retail shop last year because it was the right thing for me and for my business in this season. But the shop is what introduced me to so many of you, and the shop embodied so much of what I love about running a small business. I think independent retailers remind us of something we have all but lost in our hyper individualistic, ultra-convenient internet age. Small shops are relational. Shopkeepers create an experience for you, not just because it’s business but because it’s something they truly believe in. Small shops remind us of truths that will never make the news—that the world is full of good people who care about the work they put out into the world. Go ask for a book recommendation at your local independent bookstore. Attend a workshop at your local maker space. Ask for houseplant advice at your local plant shop. Tell your local baker how much their work means to you. Retailers who have made it through the last few years have survived a lot of storms—many have not. If a small shop means something to you, make sure they know it ♥️ #mysmallbiz #smallbusinesssupport #smallbizlife #smallshopsdreambig #smallshoplove #indieretail
