Question for Boutiques and Independents: How do you feel about items you carry in your store showing up in "Big Box" places like chain grocery stores or department stores?
Answered by:
I owned a shop for many years and I prided myself on having unique merchandise. I think if this situation presented itself to me I would probably drop the line. If my customer can buy the product anywhere, it is no longer unique... Also, smaller shops usually can't compete with the price breaks the bigger companies sometimes receive. I bet you find another company that is just right for you!
