Same here. I think this is largely due to location and convenience. The mom and pop stores tend to be scattered around town, maybe clustered on a main street/downtown area. Parking may be an issue. It is far easier to pull into a large parking lot and go to a store with one-stop shopping for a wide variety of items.
