we help independent retailers make money and grow™

We Help Smart, Independent Retailers
Compete and Grow in a Big-Box World

We make it possible for you to give customers what they want, when and where
they want it.

We help smaller retail businesses compete against larger, publicly-traded retail corporations because we think it’s a whole lot better to live in distinctive places, where business owners’ care about more than just price-per-share, where customers and employees are both treated fairly, and where small business entrepreneurs are rewarded for having a vision and some originality.

Big Ideas

Bet we’re a lot like you: we’ve lived in places urban and suburban, worked in monster corporations and some not-so-big companies, and we’ve shopped in big name stores as well as the local favorite. Like you, we’ve decided smaller is better. Here’s why.

Will working with TAD really make your life easier? If you’ve ever found playing well with others can be a challenge, you may be relieved to hear we’re not making this up as we go along.

Our Brands

TAD doesn’t offer the same solutions “everybody” else does, and we don’t work the same way “everybody” else does. Our services are exactly that: professional services -- not do-it-yourself tools.
