Jim Jamail And Sons Food Market At 3114 Kirby Dr.
Earlydays replied to JLWM8609's topic in Historic Houston
I think you miss the point. Local and family owned for me means just that, in a local community, family owned and run, with typically one location.. Operating philosophy is a part of it, but I contend that a local family owned and run business is more likely to focus on personal customer service than a multi-location, corporate entity....of course exceptions prove the rule. Family control of Wal-Mart, or BMW, or Mars candy, etc. is besides the point. -
