At the heart of all retailers’ promise to consumers is providing them access to the products they need and want at the best possible prices. Imperative to that goal is the ability to operate in an environment that promotes free trade, supply chain resiliency, innovation, and fair and strong competition both in the U.S. and abroad.  

Challenges over the last several years have battle-tested retailers’ ability to deliver for consumers and in large part they have succeeded thanks to their ability to innovate and maintain nimble supply chains. But these challenges and opportunities also highlight why it is critical for public policy to support retail. When policies are fair and allow retailers to compete, customers, communities, and workers all benefit.
