"I have the wealth of over 100 years of experience & knowledge to draw on from the members. We collaborate on identifying and/or finding a piece of glass, question on merchant accounts, insurance, best programs to use for the business, dealing with various situations that occur with day-to-day interaction with customers & so much more. "
"RAGS has really helped me over the years. When I took over running the shop I had so many questions. The members were always right there lending an encouraging hand and providing a wealth of information. Best investment ever!!!"

"I've been a member of this group since it’s very first year and my store is over 40 years old, so I can offer a lot of insight to newer stores. In turn, the support & resources I receive from my fellow members is very valuable to me. Each year at our conference I get new ideas and make new friends who have similar retail experiences. I also love establishing a relationship with manufacturers at our annual event."
