Local runs expensive though. This is the 21st century, major chains are ever-growing and we must deal with it, its just how our economy is running and is actually beneficial to the national economy. For example, in my town we have a local pharmacy that is insanely overpriced and lacks selection.. now a chain CVS pharmacy is opening soon and i hope they put the local pharmacy out of business. Yes it will hurt those who work at the local pharmacy in the short term but, they can get BETTER paying positions at CVS than the local pharmacy had given them. The national economy is boosted by these chains, as many American families own stock and many shoppers at these stores benefit in two ways, by paying low prices for products and by profiting as investors
Even though people think chains ruin small businesses this is false. They weed out they over expensive and unjust business and spur the growth of new ones that can compete with the chains on the same level. Plus it is obvious, big chains mean less expensive.. its a no brainer positive factor.
On a fishing note,
I feel TW is where its at. BPS and Cabelas are just corrupt, and often expensive (when buying online) compared to TW. The amount of shipping they charge is outrageous and TW does an amazing job of free shipping and $5 two day shipping its great. And Dick's is just a mess, its expensive and the selection isnt the best. They have good clearance sales sometimes though
