shopkeepers
Retail business operators
Shopkeepers is the plural of shopkeeper—a person who owns or manages a small retail store.
The term suggests independent proprietors rather than employees of large chains: The shopkeepers along Main Street formed a merchants' association.
In British usage especially, shopkeeper carries connotations of the traditional high street and small-scale commerce.
