Together We Are Stronger!
Independent Retailer - Fall 2009
The Canadian retail landscape changes at a constant rate, and the challenges related to the operation of a successful business continue to diversify. So too do the needs and interests of independent retailers across the country. And as a result of these changes and diversification, obstacles to the growth of small business are presented. Though, these obstacles — as difficult as they may be for some independent retailers to identify — are equaled only by the opportunities that arise from them.
Welcome
Welcome to Independent Retail: A Changing Landscape. This Web site is your link to the independent retailing community across Canada, and a chance for you to take a look at what Retail Council of Canada and Scotiabank Small Business are doing to support our community.
Overview
Independent Retail: A Changing Landscape is a joint research project of Retail Council of Canada and Scotiabank Small Business, and aims to identify major opportunities, challenges and trends faced by independent retailers across Canada.
