Many, many years ago I lived in Des Moines - loved shopping at the Wobbly Hog! While the large chains may have efficiencies, they also tend to "simplify" their inventory. I enjoy going to the independents to find things that aren't offered at the big box.

We lost the local owned Bruno's grocery chain here in Alabama and saw in the paper yesterday where one of the local Piggly Wiggly stores was shutting down.
