I find this concept so odd. I get the support local shops but this concept breaks down if you think further ahead.

The goal of a business is to make money and once you make enough you tend to open more locations to make more money. Eventually you become the chain that then people say you shouldn’t shop at.

I’m not saying you are right or wrong. Just more of a thought I had to get out.

Because a locally owned shop is a gamble if you aren’t familiar with them and can also be just as expensive.

Starbucks is the Olive Garden of coffee. It’s not the best but it is extremely consistent and I know what I’m getting no matter what Starbucks I go to.

I go there because I know exactly what to expect.
