For six years running, shop-local advocate (and FCA US LLC partner) Independent We Stand has taken its message on the road, traveling cross-country to meet and interview independent small business owners from all over the United States.
This year, the team officially began their trip in Michigan, where they picked up the FCA US LLC-sponsored custom-wrapped Ram ProMaster City® that would carry them from Detroit, across Ohio, into Philly, up to New Jersey, New York and finally into Boston.
All told the team traveled through 22 cities in 6 states, conducted 40 interviews and logged over 2,000 miles on the odometer of the Ram ProMaster City®. FCA Work Vehicles US was excited to join them on the first leg of their journey, tagging along as they visited several locally owned businesses in and around Detroit.
Please enjoy these photos of the day we spent with Independent We Stand. Then, be sure to read all about their experience traveling 2,000+ miles, many of them in densely populated areas like NYC, with four people in a Ram ProMaster City®.
