Hurricanes, earthquakes, floods, and other natural disasters are on the rise. Thankfully, Heart on Main Street is there to support independent retail businesses when disaster strikes.  After growing up on the wholesale side of retail, Patrick Keiser founded Heart on Main Street to provide indie retailers with the resources, tools, and educational opportunities they need to reinvest in their businesses.  One of those resources is Heart on Main Street’s Jumpstart Program. Heart on Main Street provides retailers affected by natural disasters with thousands of dollars worth of coupons to rebuild their wholesale stock, thanks to generous donations from their vendor partners. Tune in to Patrick’s insightful interview to learn how you can prepare your indie retail business for potential natural disasters and how Heart on Main Street might support you in your time of need.
