Lew Prince
Lew Prince is an owner of Vintage Vinyl, an epic independent record store in St. Louis, Missouri, and active in the organizations Business for Shared Prosperity and American Sustainable Business Council. Prince says, “Local businesses compete by being part of the community — from hiring our neighbors to sponsoring youth leagues — and by providing service that gigantic multinational chains with their feed-more-profits-to-headquarters policies cannot match. To do this, I need well-trained, long-term employees. I have to pay them more to keep them. My customers know my employees and are loyal to my business because of them.”
