National Retail Federation reposted this
Great time in Washington, DC for the National Retail Federation “Retail Advocates Summit” where the focus was on our smaller retail businesses and celebrating the important role they play in moving our local economies forward while also drawing attention to the ever growing organized retail crime that is plaguing our shopping centers and cities. We met with congressional leaders and shared concerns over the rising crime and requested support of the CORCA bill (Combatting Organized Retail Crime). We shared opposition to tariffs as these have proven to harm small retail as cost of goods increase and result in higher prices for the consumer often creating an unsustainable dynamic. #Virginiaretailmatters
