"Retail is the cornerstone of modern society"

At the SpartanNash Conference, Caitlin Allen from Simbe explains why she's passionate about independent retail. It's about the "power of independence" - walking into the friendliest store in town where everyone knows your name AND your special peanut butter preference!

With retail being the world's largest employer, these human connections matter more than ever. Online grocery has its place, but nothing replaces genuine community relationships.

Celebrating the independent retailers who make shopping personal!
