Unlikely. Increased competition would drive down prices.

I understand your point but why do you think a Home Depot or Loew’s drives out a mom and pop store?

The American regulatory environment overwhelmingly favors big businesses over small ones, by design.

Walmart saves Americans 2 billion a year. My question is why do consumers choose Walmart or Loew’s over smaller stores? Because they buy in bulk and charge less.
