A general store in Vermont is for sale and it doesn’t have a social media account, an e-commerce shop, nor even just a web page. Most indie businesses like Ripton’s likely need an e-commerce platform that updates itself with all of the latest features, connects it with its business friends and vendors, and is affordable. Sounds like Ripton’s needs: Bridge.
