Re: Mom & Pop stores.... what ones do you patron?
The first answer that came to mind is restaurants. We very rarely go to chain restaurants. I think the food quality is uniformly low - made for the masses. When we go out to eat, we go to "real" restaurants which are mostly family owned and operated. We don't go to McDonald's and Chili's and Applebee's and such.
At my office, we do a great deal of business with an independent pharmacy located across the street. Most of our patients go there and we order a lot of our supplies through him. If not for our practice, he would probably go out of business.
