Thirty years in

Relationships built to last.

For three decades, PPP has maintained consistent vendor partnerships and active market presence. That longevity reflects steady leadership, long-term relationships, and a structure built to support independent stores through changing retail cycles.

And PPP keeps evolving: new vendors, new conversations, and new ways for retailers to connect and grow. Steady foundation. Forward movement.

In their words

Thirty years of shops rooting for each other.

“One year I saved nine thousand dollars, then set out to double it, and saved over eighteen thousand. Saving on purchases I would have made anyway? Yes please.”

Eric Wininger · Reading Hospital Gift Shops, Reading, PA

“The savings more than pay for membership, usually at our first market. It is an investment in your shop’s future.”

Ginger Taylor
Cox Health Systems Auxiliary Gift Shop, Springfield, MO

“I tracked it in the early years just to be sure, and the savings came to three or four times what I paid to belong.”

Debbie Skaggs
Baptist Health Louisville, KY

“It feels like being part of a group that genuinely wants each of us to succeed.”

Candis Gioia
Boutique at Backus, Norwich, CT
