Background and Research
Very little research has been conducted on the subject of corner stores. There are a few academic articles that focus certain landmarks that pertain to corner stores, but no articles fully center on the subject of corner stores. There is a documentary, “The Corner Store Movie,” that focuses on the owner and how he and his family came to America to start a life. This film plays a centerpiece in our project, since it is the only film we found that actually involves a corner store specifically in San Francisco.
