National Retail Solutions (NRS) and its partners hosted more than 100 independent retailers and business owners at its Networking Lunch at Rasoi 2 on Tuesday, Oct. 20, in Iselin, NJ. The sponsored event brought store owners together with industry partners for an afternoon of practical business ideas and connections with fellow retailers.
Attendees met store owners from across the area, connected with sponsors and industry partners, and exchanged ideas to strengthen their businesses.
"Independent retailers spend their days behind the counter, and a room like this one is rare for them," said Elie Y. Katz, president and CEO of NRS. "Over a hundred store owners showed up, met each other, talked with our partners, and walked out with ideas they can put to work this week. That's the whole point."
The Networking Lunch continues NRS's series of gatherings for the independent retail community, following the Retailers Networking Meetup earlier this year. NRS and its partners plan to host more events that bring store owners together.
