		<description>True, it&#039;s much more than just a Name,  and is in fact already an Established Brand itself. It does have a better feeling to it especially under the current economic conditions, and will also do well as an International Franchise.</description>

		<description>never underestimate the power of your community, while the internet makes it easy to connect with people all around the world, don&#039;t forget about the people who live next door and down the street.</description>

		<description>John - this is a nice find and a great case study for local small businesses who are frantically searching around for a way to be unique. Small businesses can have difficulty with differentiation when going up against the big guys, so local is a nice and totally perfect way to go. Thanks for taking the time to point that out to all the small business owners who are wondering, social media? advertising? what do I do next?</description>

		<description>Using local as a differentiator is an excellent way to carve out a niche. It sounds like Hilary hase executed her strategy brilliantly. It&#039;s an idea that could work for a lot of smaller, independent retailers looking for a way to set themselvers apart.</description>
