Anytime Clark mentions Wal-Mart and the success the store has had, he gets angry letters and phone calls. There is a natural bias against anything big in our culture. So, what about something that starts small and gets bigger? When does big become too big? According to the citizens of San Francisco, a business gets too big when it reaches 12 stores or locations. The town has passed a law, making it a crime to open anymore than 12 stores. They call it “formula retail,” the San Francisco Chronicle reports. The purpose is to eliminate homogenization, according to the group behind the law. Clark thinks it’s definitely possible to be put off by seeing the same thing over and over. With strip malls and shopping centers, it’s easy these days. But what about the entrepreneurial spirit? Clark knows a man who started a California-style burrito joint in Atlanta several years ago. He had one restaurant that became a huge hit and it has blossomed into 14 more. People in Atlanta love the food and atmosphere of these restaurants, so the marketplace should decide – not the government.
