One quickly learns that retail is not a "nice" business. Already one other area retailer has put the screws to one of my suppliers and they have discontinued providing me with their wares. My aim had always been to complement and not compete with other village businesses. I thought that if I stayed away from the items other shops sold, I would find my own niche. It seems the retailer now sees my niche would do well in her store. Some of her wares will do equally well in mine. I will now fight fire with fire.
