Two interesting pieces from Shanken News Daily this past week: Top Retailers were honored by Market Watch and the Scotch industry exhaled a bit as Scottish voters came down against independence. [level-members]
Among the retailers honored by Market Watch magazine were Gary’s Wine & Marketplace in New Jersey name the following as the keys to his firm’s success:
Impeccable service
Strong merchandising
Broad selection
Competitive pricing
(We’re willing to bet it was those first two that really did the trick …)
The scotch industry avoided a bit of uncertainty as voters in Scotland opted to remain a part of Great Britain. Given the unknowns surrounding everything from currency to governmental regulation that the change would have created, this is a good thing for the industry. [/level-members]
