As an independent operator, have you ever wondered how you could qualify for a program like a multi-unit or chain operator? Savvy chain operators use their combined volume across all their stores to develop prime supplier relationships. These relationships are most likely based upon a negotiated contract that establishes pricing programs that can be audited to guarantee compliance.
