Abstract	This research examines the significance of sari-sari stores in Dumaguete City's economy in the Philippines. Sari-sari stores, which are small local convenience shops, are an essential component of the informal sector as they offer basic goods, credit services, and foster community interaction. By conducting a survey among sari-sari store proprietors, this study evaluates their economic impact on local income, job creation, and resilience. The results suggest that, although they operate on a small scale, sari-sari stores considerably contribute to the local economy.
