  • Create a caring, intentional culture and customer experience.
  • Actively engage with local charities to build goodwill and brand recognition.
  • Adjust business hours to meet customers’ needs. 
  • Understand the “Power Law” of customer spending to build lasting relationships.
  • Negotiate your lease to cement your role as a lasting community fixture.
