Happy National Mom & Pop Business Owners Day.
From the site -
When you call, you are more likely to get a real, live person. And unlike big national chains, they know their products.
They are outstanding performers in niche markets. In manufacturing, they create many new concepts and ideas, making them creators of new products.
I love that there is a special day to celebrate mom and pop business owners and small busineses.
On my post David & Goliath - The Little Bakery That Drove McDonalds Out Of Town one commenter summed up the big business vs small business struggle many of us face in a positive light for mom and pop businesses.
This story highlights 3 important points of business -
1. There is no such thing as guaranteed success, even for big, proven franchise like McDonalds
2. Opportunities are there for niche markets that caters to local needs
3. Businesses have to be sensitive to changing consumer trends, in this case, greater health vs price and speed.
This story should inspire the mom and pop business that they still have a place in society.
Enjoy your day and celebrate the pluses of small business.
