All of the shops on my shopping directory Love Our Shops UK, are online stores. Some of them are on the high street (so independent shops near me) too and some sell their brilliant products at markets and fairs. All kinds of independent small businesses whether online independent retailers, market stall holders and high street independent stores, are so important for our lives, they add so much abundance to the UK.
I am not just talking money, though they do contribute a huge amount economically, but also the non financial benefits. You can see more about the benefits they bring to our lives in my blog post 9 Reasons Why Shopping Independent is a Good Thing.
