Your shop means a lot. You deserve to feel that here.

Behind every independent store is someone making it their own. Choosing what belongs on the shelves. Remembering a customer’s name. Giving people a reason to come back.

Retail with Purpose is here for you. A free buying program from Purchasing Power Plus, with people who care about independent retail and want to see your business do well.

Save 5% on your wholesale orders from participating vendors, taken right off your invoice.

Why Retail with Purpose

You care for your community. Let us care for your business.

An independent shop can mean so much to the people who walk through its door. A familiar face. Help finding just the right gift. A little kindness on a difficult day.

Why Retail with Purpose

You order directly from the vendors, just as you always have.
