Some little towns have a dollar store that's a local franchise. Most tourist towns have mom and pop art galleries, or restaurants, or flower shops. In my neighborhood there are mom and pop llanteras, a birria stand, a carniceria that I went in once, a guy who goes around in a golf cart selling crunchy snacks. And anyone selling more useful stuff got it from Walmart.
