National Mom & Pop Business Owners’ Day

They line the Main Streets of all of the small towns in the Golden Triangle. Most likely, they're an independent retailer or service provider. Sometimes they're franchise operators under a national name. Look into the history of most of today's huge corporations and you'll find its roots in a small independent family business.  Family-run businesses are the heart of our economy, locally, statewide and nationally.  Today's your day, Mom & Pop! I'd suggest you take the day off to celebrate, but it would bring the country to a screeching halt.
