The Mom and Pop Shop Business Model

"I feel very lucky that I still live in a time where a lot of small businesses have a strong presence," she says. "They're not literally always run by mom and mom and pop, right? But it's a matter of speaking, right? And trying to connote a certain kind of vibe." Not just any mom and pop shop, but the kind that is considered a neighborhood treasure,. She adds: "It wouldn't be fully vibrant without this establishment, without this business"
