Want a way for your customers to leave your business this holiday season feeling they’ve done some good for a few cents? Take your lead from an independent pet store, Urban Tails Pet Supply in Minneapolis and offer a “register round-up”. “Customers can round up to the nearest dollar, with the difference going to a (different local rescue every month),” manager Megan Trombley told INSTORE’s sister magazine PETS+. “It has been really helping the animals in our community.”

Wilkerson: “They Feel Like Family”

Newton’s Jewelers in Fort Smith, Ark., was a true institution. But after being at the helm for most of his life, owner (and descendent of the original founder) Kelly Newton decided it was time to retire. He chose Wilkerson to handle the sale. “I’ve known the owners of Wilkerson for a long, long time. I felt at home with them,” he says. The final retirement sale was just a “blast” and the Wilkerson sales team made it so very simple and straightforward, says Newton. Would he recommend Wilkerson to others? Absolutely. “They’ve done incredible work,” says Newton. “They feel like family.”
