I'm 24 and at the point where I'm considering driving my own stake in the ground for the first time since dorming for college. I much prefer giving business to small businesses over the large chains and I'm curious as to which neighborhoods have the highest concentration of the mom-and-pop variety stores. I'll be making six figures in a couple of years so income isn't (or shouldn't be, hopefully, maybe) a huge issue.
I think they will be buying, not selling. They just want to support the locally owned places.
Honestly, I find that there is a mix in most neighborhoods of chains vs individually owned places. And you don't have to do all of your shopping in your immediate neighborhood anyway.
Any ethnic neighborhood, like chinatown has all mom n pop stores from supermarkets to restaurants to electronic stores to bakeries to hardware to eyeglasses to clothing
