What Is The Retail Owners Institute?

Empowering!

People don't go into retailing to be financiers. 

  • They love the merchandise they sell, and/or they love the people who buy the merchandise. (Think book stores, sporting goods stores, gift shops, etc.) 
  • Others love the "theater", the excitement of retailing.
  • Still others want to be their own boss.

But few are attracted to the financial part. 

That's why The Retail Owners Institute® has been built. The ROI is dedicated to helping retailers "Turn on their financial headlights!"
