Keeping it local

Unlike big box stores which sell the same products, in the same layout, in the same store, in the same looking mall in everywhere USA, local independent kitchenware stores boast a hometown flair.

Whether stocking aebleskiver pans at the Creative Kitchen in Fargo, featuring cookbooks by local chefs at a kitchenware store in Napa Valley (left, above), or cheering for the Super Bowl-bound hometown team (left, below) at Pittsburgh’s In the Kitchen (Go Steelers!) independent stores are “keeping it local.”

How does your store show its hometown local pride?
