Just saw this.... so true. Many small stores are having a real stuggle. The number of empty store fronts is getting a bit despressing too. So keep it local when you can and think American made.
I live in Victoria, BC, Canada, and I NEVER shop in chain stores unless I absolutely have to. Every mall in Victoria has exactly the same stores. What's the point? How many of the same store does any city need?
I love all the little one-off stores in Victoria and Vancouver. My home is furnished almost exclusively in furniture and accessories I've found in independent merchants' stores. I have always supported local merchants and will continue to do so.
this struggling small independent merchant thanks you!
