Absolutely incorrect. The long tail of products and the size of a store has nothing to do with each other. A mom and pop store is not going to cater to a local population any better just because it is small. It's hilariously wrong to think that people's buying habits are localized or consistent based on geography. If I need a linear carriage, a Razer Hydra, an obscure philosophy text by Merleau-Ponty, a 1/8" straight fluted HSS router bit, a jar of Mexican mole sauce, and a monitor arm mount -- where do I go? Walmart? My neighborhood mom-and-pop store? Of course not.
