It certainly is true that my city contains a lot of small stores.
For example, it contains convenience stores, where you can buy some
food at times when the supermarkets are closed.
It contains small second-hand bookstores. In fact, it even contains a
couple of small *new* bookstores, even though they are outnumbered by
the big chain stores.
There are small clothing stores - but they sell expensive designer
clothes. Although there's sort of a middling-sized discount store
that's halfway between a convenience store and a supermarket, but also
sells clothing.
