Why do Box Stores Succeed, because that's what you chose.
Sunday, July 08, 2007
I regularly hear folks complaining about Big Box Stores. They say how small local shops are so much more elegant and good for the community. Have you heard this recently, "I like to support local/ family owned businesses." I'm guessing you have. I don't know if I've ever heard somebody say, "I like to support Chain Stores/Franchises." It may not be 'in' to say it but people sure do it, you and I included. Try and remember this though if you really do care about your locally owned businesses, you vote with your wallet not your heart. It's your dollars that dictate what type of stores flourish and those that are forced to close.
Imagined at a Mega-Supermarket near you...
In the dairy section a mother of two bumps into an old friend she hasn't seen in a while. After a brief catch up she casually mentions, "Isn't it a shame that cheese shop down the street closed, it was such a pretty little place. Pass me the Brie please."
