Small business and big business seem to be succumbing to the effects of this economy. Retail stores have been suffering for quite some time now. Our industry, based on a needed service has weathered much better then others. CVS, though is unable to translate their marketing muscle and buying power into a successful beauty supply business. The CVS Caremark Corp has officially shut down as of May 19th. Those of us that are still alive and kicking know what a struggle it can be. If you love the industry and what you do though, you will be successful. Thankfully, the service end of our industry still thrives and if paired with great products so can the retail.
