It depends on the industry. You'll see some independent bookstores, a few art supply stores, and other niche things that corpos don't really do well enough to completely obliterate all human passion in the sector. Otherwise? Nah, the only other area where mom-and-pop stores are doing well is restaurants. I had to drive four hours to purchase a lenovo computer from an official retailer (a mom-and-pop joint in the middle of nowhere in Massachusetts), since I refused to use Amazon.
