I hope this is the start of a trend which will lead to the re-emergence of the mom-and-pop to serve the neighborhoods now left abandoned by Walmart.

Obviously you have sufficient income to allow you to pay the "local" premium for goods and services charged by the locals here in the lakes region. I would love to shop locally but paying 40- 45% higher food prices locally instead of a drive to the nearest Market Basket . Or 20 cents a gallon more for gas or heating oil here in Wolfeboro but such is not the case so 90% of my consumption goes out of town.
