The main purpose of a business is to make a profit and the way that is accomplished is by providing quality products and services to customers at competitive prices.
A lot of things must happen to become a successful business but in my opinion, business success is not just measured in profits and as a customer, success is not just measured by purchasing the cheapest product or service.

I too do my best to shop locally; even after spending the weekend with my family in Fruita/Palisade, one of my first stops back in Meeker is the grocery store and in the winter, a gas-fill up (sometimes I procrastinate in the summer when I don’t worry so much about water condensation in an empty gas tank.)
With the price of gasoline rising shopping locally is even more fiscally sound despite the lure of the “big box stores.” Well they don’t lure me all that much then again I don’t have a large family to shop for, I seldom clean the house from top to bottom and replace the decor, and I would rather spend my time doing other things than driving 1-2 hours one way to shop anyway!
