The absolute best thing for nearly all local economies would be for more and more chain stores to close. The vacuum would be filled by local entrepreneurs who return more to their communities, create more jobs, and invest in ways that help create wealth and good healty communities.
Chain stores sack up the cash and ship it to corporate headquarters, where the emphasis is on satisfying shareholders.

I'm concerned about keeping open commercial shipping patterns for national security. Grocery stores used to have local warehouses so food supplies were close in case of disasters, etc. Now everything is centralized and stocks are kept low by corporate overlords.
