What sense does it make for a successful retailer to join one stop?

Having read up on One Stop's offering it seems that a one stop retailer is basically a glorified manager.

Yes One Stop does offer an initial investment in your store, but they tie you down for 5 years with a mammoth 95% of stock that has to be purchased from them, and they set a maximum limit on the price you can sell the goods for also.

Surely you cant still be regarded as a independent retailer if your every move is governed by those higher up in the hierarchy.

On reflection it may be the way forward for those struggling retailers, giving them a fighting chance.
