Retail with Purpose
Free membership. Real savings on every order you already place.
Retail with Purpose is a free buying program for hospital gift shops, pharmacy stores, and independent retailers. Members save 5% on their wholesale orders with our curated vendors. No new platform, no minimums, and nothing to learn. You order the way you always have, and the savings are built into what you pay.
The idea
Thirty years inside shops like yours.
We have spent more than three decades working alongside stores exactly like yours, and we know what a working week looks like: inventory, volunteers, a tight budget, limited space, and customers who need more than a transaction. Retail with Purpose is how we make the buying side easier. Better prices from vendors who understand your world, and a team that picks up the phone when you call.
What membership gives you
Real buying advantages, not just good intentions.
Retail with Purpose is built to put real money back in your shop and take the guesswork out of who to buy from.
5% off your wholesale orders
Every order you place with a participating vendor comes with 5% off your wholesale cost. No coupons, no codes, no chasing rebates.
It costs nothing to join
Membership is free. There are no dues, no order requirements, and no obligation. We grow when your shop buys well, so our interests are the same as yours.
A curated group of vendors
Brands that already understand hospital and independent retail and want to work directly with your shop. We know every one of them personally.
Order the way you already do
If you love browsing online marketplaces, keep doing it. This is not a platform to learn or a cart to manage. You order directly from the vendors as you always have, and your member number does the rest.
Beyond buying
Help that fits a working week.
Membership is more than the buying engine. It is the support most small shops never get.
Short, useful education
Quick sessions on the things that move your shop, sized to fit between customers.
Ideas tested in real shops
Display and assortment ideas proven in shops like yours, not pulled from a big box playbook.
A peer group that gets it
Honest conversation with other buyers who run the same kind of store and face the same calls you do.
How it works
Joining is simple. Staying is even simpler.

Who it is for
Built for shops that lead with care.
Retail with Purpose fits best for stores that are thoughtful about what they carry and rooted in the communities they serve. That is often a hospital gift shop, a pharmacy store, or an independent shop where the buyer knows her customers by name. If you order steadily across more than one vendor and you value relationships that last beyond one season, you are exactly who we built this for.

Brands you would be working with.

Why us
Three decades of standing behind independent retail.
Purchasing Power Plus was built on relationships that hold. We have spent more than thirty years connecting retailers and the vendors who care about more than the sale. Retail with Purpose is how we bring that to the next generation of shops doing meaningful work, and how we make the advantages real.
