How does a small business compete with a big one?

Asked by chelle21689 (7907points) January 4th, 2017 from iPhone

My parents have owned an Asian grocery for almost 40 years and next to it is a restaurant that my uncle owns. It’s very well known, especially the restaurant. We get a lot of good reviews, word of mouth, and it gets busy. So business is good. Small Asian shops open nearby but we do really good.

I heard a rumor that a big Asian chain store is coming near us. Basically like a super market and rich. It is making me nervous and worried.

One thing that we have evolved to is catering to different people. Instead of just Asian merchandise we have a lot of African and Jamaican products so we do have a big customer base in that demographic. Also, a decent amount of Latinos.

Anyway, I just hope they don’t lose the business and every they worked hard for.
