| Synopsis: |
Mega-chains like Walmart, Starbucks, Home Depot and The Gap attract Americans to thousands of outlets by offering a large selection of goods and services. But this doesn't mean that independent stores can't compete with the big guys - and win. Retail expert George Whalin identifies and explores twenty-five highly popular and profitable independent stores from around the United States. Unlike the mom-and-pops of yesteryear, these businesses embrace technology and innovation, generate word of mouth, and turn their size into an advantage. They include: ABC Carpet and Home in New York City; Powell's City of Books in Portland, Oregon; The Junkman's Daughter in Atlanta; and, Jungle Jim's International Market in Fairfield, Ohio. Readers will be inspired by how these independent stores are thriving and take away lessons they can apply to their own businesses. |
