I live in a pretty small town so most of the businesses are smaller. There are plenty of chain stores too, but a lot of people, myself included, support the small ones. I kind of like when you walk into the butcher shop and they know you by name or when you go to the grocery store and the people that work there know you. The grocery store I go to will even do special orders. If they don't have something you want, they get it for you which is pretty cool and I think it goes a long way towards building up lasting customer bases.
The one exception I have is there is a local computer store and the guy that owns it is a dick so for that kind of stuff I just order online or go to Fry's.
