    Possibly mom and pop stores?

    There was a program on over here some time back where a guy drove from one side of the US to the other using only independent gas stations and hotels. There clearly is a niche still for the indi retailers, albeit one that is shrinking.

    The Dave Gorman thing?

    He couldn't quite make it all the way from coast to coast.

    Yes! That's the one!

    I thought he made it to the coast, just not where he was planning on finishing? Seems like a lifetime ago since I watched it, so could well be wrong.
