Unpopular opinion: I'm not convinced of small local businesses. Where I live, it feels like "that shop has always been here, it must remain here" without looking at whether it's really still providing the same service. I believe it's fine for shops to close, others to open, or to reinvent themselves. There's always the argument "the town won't be the same if they're gone". That's true, but change isn't bad, it's just different.
