Helping Local Independent Shops Reach Wider Audiences

Lesley Tweedie is the founder of Little Independent, an online marketplace for sale items from independent retail stores. Lesley is an independent store owner herself and owns a local bike shop in Chicago. I interviewed Lesley to learn where the idea for Little Independent came from, how she created the site, and what she’s learned from being a brick and mortar entrepreneur creating an internet business. This interview is a part of Beyond The Pedway, a site created by Tim Jahn as a resource for creative entrepreneurs to learn from the successes and failures of others.
