Product-only retail is crowded online — hands-on services tied to a high-street address defend against e-commerce.
Why businesses succeed — and fail — in Concord

- ✔ Relatively stable year-round trade (low seasonality risk)
- ✔ High average customer ratings — the catchment rewards quality execution
Risks
