Retailers and manufacturers agree that Main Street commercial continues to be a boon to business in 2019, thanks in part to advances in technology and greater partnerships among dealers and suppliers.
“Main Street business is a nice progression from traditional retail trade,” said Larry Woodard, executive vice president, Creative Flooring Solutions, Inc., a multi-store, full-service commercial and retail flooring provider in Nova Scotia, Canada. “It requires the same skills, and ultimately, you want to develop a relationship to ensure future business with that small business owner.”
