Is it time for Mom & Pop Retailers to expand their hours?

    Given the price of fuel and the state oft theeconomy in general, isn't about time for small local retailers in many communities to come together and expand their business hours? Except for a few destination shopping areas like Peddlers Village in Lahaska, consumers can't shop late at night or on Sunday afternoons in most shopping area like Newtown, Doylestown, and Yardley.

    But if these small mom & pop retailers really want to take advantage of the consumers desire to conserve energy and increase their customer base, isn't this the time to give this idea some serious thought?   We all want to shop local and help out the mom & pop's............give us the opportunity now!
