Local Stores Need Support ~ Please Shop Local!

Ridgefield, CT – In a small town like Ridgefield, it can be very easy to meet people and form connections. This ability to connect with people is important for all residents, but especially paramount for small business owners in town.

Ridgefield is full of small shops and boutiques which add to the charm of living in a small New England town. Some of these small shops, such as Bissell Pharmacy, have been around for decades and have a loyal customer base in town. The individual attention and service makes owner Ed Karvosky a town staple and favorite. He proves that providing “personal service” to a “loyal customer base” are the keys to success for a small business in town.

Mr. Karvosky does admit, however, that some of his success comes from a diversification of his services. If he were just a pharmacy, he says “it would be a little more difficult to maintain the store.” The fact that he also has a gift shop gives customers more options and helps to keep the business successful.
