Local & Family Owned vs. National Chains

Local & Family Owned vs. National Chains

The Roscoe Company: Local & Family Owned Since 1921

America is increasingly heading back to its roots, embracing local, independent companies with rich histories. Family-owned businesses provide countless benefits for the economy and the local community, accounting for over 50% of the gross domestic product. This rings true for textile rental companies, like Roscoe – a local and family owned supplier.

In a study done by the CSC Network, people prefer local, family owned providers because they outperform national chains in the following categories:

Criteria Locally Owned National Chains
Fair Billing 72% 15%
Product Quality 62% 21%
Quality Personnel 60% 20%
Value for Cost 48% 30%

The perception is that national chains are able to provide a lower price, but research shows that local, family owned suppliers are not only able to provide fairer prices, but with better quality and through more responsive representatives.
