jabber Member Registered: 02/17/05 Posts: 10032 Loc: New York State	Interesting. "Mom 'n pop" businesses will soon be nonexistent across the globe, I suppose. And that's too bad. Some customers like a personal touch. _________________________ https://www.amazon.com/author/bonnie.mill-lemke https://kdp.amazon.com/en_US/bookshelf

jawjaw Da Queen Registered: 07/02/03 Posts: 12025 Loc: Alabama	I agree Jabber. I love the little niche shops that you find in places. Especially when I'm traveling to another town. They have charm and character. Not "off the rack" or "dime a dozen" items. I get so tired of that stuff. My eyes glaze over in Wally World when I go by their acres of clothes and stuff. Puleaseee...give me the mom and pop's any day. It' so unfair that they can't make a go of it and are squeezed out! _________________________ Queen JJ www.queenjawjaw.com All Things Royal - 2010 and Beyond Humorist for the NABBW

DJ Member Registered: 11/22/02 Posts: 1149 Loc: Ohio	Actually, as people are being laid off, I bet there'll be more small businesses opening up again. Not only that, but some big companies that bought little ones in some cases are selling them off. _________________________ http://dcvance.wordpress.com/

jabber Member Registered: 02/17/05 Posts: 10032 Loc: New York State	DJ, Not sure I agree. People have lost lots of investment funds. Starting a business is a huge gamble. I wonder how many folks' have extra cash they'd be willing to expose to further iffy investments.

DJ Member Registered: 11/22/02 Posts: 1149 Loc: Ohio	Jabber, I guess it depends on the type of business and whether or not you have other options for supporting yourself. There's always a risk involved, but there's also the risk that any of us can be fired at any time. I started a business 20 years ago with a friend and it only cost us a few dollars to get started. We provide a service and need very minimal equipment. I know people who sell things on line, and it also costs them nothing. If you've got a service or product that people want it's less iffy then some of the retail stores -- these days people around here are spending money improving their homes, so the home improvement guys I've talked to haven't seen even a dip in their business. _________________________ http://dcvance.wordpress.com/

jabber Member Registered: 02/17/05 Posts: 10032 Loc: New York State	DJ, Yes, they're even building new homes 'round here. And those places are huge. I can't imagine who buys houses that big. Utilities and property taxes must be more than most yearly incomes. As far as business upstarts go, you're right. If you have a service to offer, more power to you! _________________________ https://www.amazon.com/author/bonnie.mill-lemke https://kdp.amazon.com/en_US/bookshelf

Saundra Member Registered: 11/18/05 Posts: 1796 Loc: Daytona Beach, Florida	More Dollar Stores are opening up. Has anyone else noticed how much their prices have gone up? Not much is one dollar any more. _________________________ What I know for sure is that it's all connected. Saundra Goodman Got Teeth? A Survivor's Guide www.gotteethguide.com for your Free Tips

jabber Member Registered: 02/17/05 Posts: 10032 Loc: New York State	I like the fact that greeting cards are fifty cents each at the dollar tree stores. Cards are so darn expensive elsewhere, I can't hardly believe it. And for those people with a core group of folks they feel obligated to send cards to, the cost can be staggering. _________________________ https://www.amazon.com/author/bonnie.mill-lemke https://kdp.amazon.com/en_US/bookshelf

jawjaw Da Queen Registered: 07/02/03 Posts: 12025 Loc: Alabama	My mother likes to tell people of the time we visited the Dollar Tree and I shouted across the store, "how much is this?" Every one in the store cracked up...the cashier looked at me like I was from Mars.
