What if the secret to long-term retail success isn’t just found in your numbers, but in your values?
In this inspiring and actionable episode of Main Street Matters, host Patrick Keiser explores how independent retailers across the country are building their businesses around generosity, connection, and purpose. You’ll hear stories of shop owners who’ve turned their stores into hubs of hope, from disaster recovery in North Carolina and Florida to community leadership in small-town Oklahoma.
We also shine a spotlight on One Night One Heart, a special event coming up this June during the Dallas Total Home & Gift Market. This industry-wide fundraiser supports retailers impacted by natural disasters and celebrates the spirit of giving back. Whether you’re attending the market or cheering from afar, you’ll learn how to be part of something meaningful.
