It's Small Business Month and we want to celebrate the impact, resilience, and incredible stories of independent retailers from coast to coast to coast. This week we are spotlighting Goode Studio, a brand-new venture for Ethan Goosen of Goosen Design. What started as an interior design firm in Gibson, British Columbia, is now expanding into a dynamic furniture and retail website, helping to create beautiful spaces with just a click. Cheers to independent retailers like Goode Studio, who display the power of flexibility, meeting new demands and staying ahead of trends every day. Are you an independent retailer looking for resources and savings programs tailored for your business?➡️https://hubs.ly/Q02RJQfy0 #SmallBusinessWeek #RetailMatters #ShopLocal #CommunityStrong #SupportIndieRetailers
