Independent Retailer Month is a valuable opportunity for B2B suppliers, wholesalers, and brands to support their independent retail partners across the UK. Held throughout July, the campaign shines a spotlight on the crucial role independent stores play in the retail landscape.
Independent Retailer Month is a nationwide campaign held every July to celebrate and support local independent retail businesses. For wholesalers like Forrest Fresh Foods, it’s an opportunity to champion our retail partners just like you through exclusive offers, tailored support, and promotional activity designed to help independents thrive. Below, we’ll explore exactly how we’re backing your business this month.
An independent retailer is a business that operates on its own, not part of a large national chain or franchise, and typically makes its own buying decisions, manages its own promotions, and serves a local customer base. As a wholesaler, we view independent retailers as vital partners as they are agile, entrepreneurial, and closely connected to their communities, which makes them key drivers of product discovery, loyalty, and regional growth.
The advantage of being an independent retailer lies in the flexibility and control it gives you over your business from product selection and pricing to customer experience and branding. Independent retailers can respond quickly to local trends, build stronger relationships with their communities, and offer a more personalised service than large chains. This agility allows them to differentiate themselves, build loyal customer bases, and grow in ways that reflect their unique values and market.
