Small is beautiful
We partner with local owners & operators to modernize Main Street retail.
ABOUT
Today’s consumer craves local, and is losing affection for big retail. But local has to be better: personal, convenient, viable, multi-channel.
Indie’s customizable services & support were built for small retail. From software-only to shared ownership, our mission is to propel anchors of authenticity in neighborhoods across the country.

OWN YOUR BRAND
We lean on your ideas/concepts, but guide you through an independent brand strategy, design & launch.
TECH PLATFORM
Start with multi-channel from day one: store workflow, payments, website, even an iOS app.
DESIGN/OPS
Store layout, opening inventory, cost analysis, runway to profitability… we’re here for you.
SCALE UP
Access additional resources or capital to grow, expand, or hire.
PASS THE BATON
Research suggests that nearly 70% of Main Street businesses will transition in the coming decade. We want your local business to continue & prosper, not close.
SIMPLE TRANSACTIONS
Once we’ve reviewed your business, we’ll make an offer quickly and negotiate a favorable structure for both parties.
LOCAL STAKEHOLDERS
We find/partner with a local owner/operator (or group) in the community to continue operating & grow.
CONTINUED LEGACY
Your brand/store lives on as an important part of your community as we help shepherd it into the future.

E-COMMERCE
Get your store catalog online within a few days with clean product-data and automated collection assignment.
iOS PLATFORM
Our custom iOS platform enables customers to search-for-anything and checkout within a few taps, plus support for wish lists, multi-store pickup, local delivery, gift wrap, and/or shipping.
