Why Small Businesses Matter
Shop small, do big things for your community
We're digging our Why Small Businesses Matter spotlight on Squash's Office Supply out of the archives to remind you to SHOP LOCAL for school supplies!
Why Small Businesses Matter puts a spotlight on the local merchants who donate their time, talent, goods, and services for the betterment of our community. The shop local movement spreads virally as local businesses who are “tagged” have the opportunity to share their story!
Three questions with Whitney Williams, owner of Squash's Office Supply.
Finish this sentence: I wish we could...
We wish we could let people know how much we love our customers and want to provide them with excellent customer service and pricing. Some people go to bigger chain stores because they have the impression that we're expensive or limited in our inventory but whenever possible we will match a bigger store's pricing and can order an item a customer needs, if we don't have it in the store we can order for pick up next day. We love the people we work with and will truly do whatever we can to give them a memorable experience.
Our best selling products are our printing services and our back-to-school supplies. We print everything from professional presentations to personal stationery/invitations. We also have everyday items, such as stationery, paper and ink as well as a fine selection of gifts. Our commercial business is another piece. Some of our commercial accounts have been with us for over 30 years.
How many people do you employ? Any students/members of the community?
We employ approximately ten people. All of us live in Ridgefield. Our part-timers are native Ridgefielders who currently attend RHS or are recent grads.
We love our town, we love our customers, we support local business always – competitively priced with customer service as our number one priority.
