A symbol group retailer is an independent retailer that is effectively a member of a larger organisation known as a “symbol group operator”.

The retailer has the symbol group name above his shop front, thereby having a common trading identity, which shoppers recognise. In addition they gain a number of other benefits associated with belonging to a larger organisation such as improved buying terms, branding, the option to sell own label products.

Membership of a buying group generally offers the independent retailer discounted terms from suppliers as they collectively represent a large group which suppliers can benefit from. Buying groups also offer advice on marketing, in store displays and promotions.
