Best thing any of us can do though, if we know a great private pet store is to pass the word as much as possible and speak with our wallets. If you have to drive out of your way to that small, private store...do so. If you're part of a herp group....promote the store. Everyone complains about chain pet stores, but obviously people shop there and stop going to the private stores or those stores wouldn't be closing down every other day.
That would be a cool idea to have a category for the forums organized by state of good Mom and Pop pet stores. Might help out the stores and help guide us all to good places.
