The best thing a mom and pop can do is not try to go toe to toe with the big boxes. Look at Brock's Lumber in Rochester. Woke up one morning and a Home Depot was basically in the same parking lot. Instead of trying to compete with low end lumber and stuff, brock's kicked it up a couple of notches and has won almost all of the quality building material sales in the area. Find a better niche and you can beat anyone.
