Preserving the Independent Option

摘要

From his vantage point as an independent paint and decorating store retailer in High Point, N.C., Kerry Jones has seen other independents in town shutter their doors over the last couple of decades. It hasn't just been other paint stores that have fallen by the wayside, but also independents in other industries such as electronics. Watching the demise of these independent retail options has only served to make Kerry more resolute about keeping his own business viable and thriving. "It is my goal that there will always be an independently owned store in High Point where people can go and buy paint," he says with strong conviction.
