Specialty Retail · Independent 1–6 Doors
Gift shops die on the floor. They don’t die on the P&L.
Shopify and Square know what sold. Your receiving log knows what you paid. Nobody puts those two things together by category—so “buy more of this, skip that” comes down to what the vendor rep is selling this week.
