The mom and pop businesses are usually overpriced and sell outdated goods. They don't have the inventory turnover and high costs. Walmart has high quality goods, lower prices and a record of raising employment. Mom and Pop need to change the way they do business. If they can't, Walmart will run them off. In case you think I do not have sufficient sympathy for the mom and pops, my direct competitor is Petco, just a few blocks away. |

It is this buying up of smaller businesses and manufacturers by large corps that has put us in such a mess. Banks bought up all the small banks, markets like Safeway, bought up all the smaller chains and the fast food giants that have left us with the same food choices from one city and state to another. There's not nearly as much competition and without competition, monopolies take over and the people lose. |

But it is true, the small operations can't just cruise along pretending its not happening, especially when personal resources have expanded so dramatically in the past twenty years. Any small operation that doesn't use a personal computer and a good database is suffering under some serious delusions.
