This is how I would approach the question:
Notes:
- Small, local store
- Reason 1 - Warm and friendly
- Reason 2 - Local economy
- Example - Store run by my neighbour
Here is my detailed answer:
I believe in going as local as possible, whether it's food, clothes, or any other requirement. Therefore, I prefer to buy from small stores in my neighbourhood. First, I like the warm, friendly atmosphere in local stores. The owners of these stores and their staff greet me every time I visit them, because they know me well. Also, when I buy from a local store, I know that the money I spend enriches the local economy. For example, there is a small store a few blocks away from where I live. It's run by a middle-aged couple. I know that every purchase I make at their store helps them save up for their dream of buying a house in the same neighbourhood.
