Thesis: The growth of large franchises and companies are a major contributing factor of why there are so many businesses going into foreclosure all over the U.S during our nation's current time of economic desperation. Communities need to shop at our local mom and pop stores instead of shopping at the larger store chains to keep our small businesses alive and well.
Key Points:
1) Larger corporations that are known nationwide use advertisement and name brands to entice the customer and draw them in.
2) Locally produced merchandise are often more expensive than the prices that chain stores offer which causes the customer to shop at the stores that are more cost- efficient as well as time- efficient.
3) The benefit of buying local items from local companies in Hawaii, is that the currency spent will have a higher chance at staying within the same community or state instead of to the mainland business owners.

Your second point takes the opposite side that you are taking. You might want to make the point that if you do have to shop at a big chain store make sure it is locally owned. For instance Marmac Ace Hardware is a locally owned big chain franchise with the same stuff and low prices as Home Depot.( At least at Marmac Ace you get free pop corn.)
but companies like Starbucks do great things for their employees and the environment...plus their coffee tastes great! Don't take away my right to expensive coffee!!!
I think the growth of large companies are great because they could bring in more jobs and opportunities for those who are unemployed. Some local stores don't provide the needs that many people need which is why we shop at those bigger companies because there are more varieties.
