I’m thinking of buying a mom & pop independent auto parts store and would be interested in your take on this idea.

I’m thinking of buying a mom & pop independent auto parts store and would be interested in your take on this idea. I see that NAPA, Autozone, Pepboys (and RockAuto online) seem to be taking over. Knowing what you know from your experience in the parts business, would you even consider investing in a small independent parts shop? Can these
small shops survive? What things would I have to do to be successful? Or is it a lost cause and all small shops will be out of business in the near future? Thanks in advance for your thoughts.
