The reason I mentioned immigrants is that they are often the only ones willing to put in 12 hours a day to make a minimal profit. The term immigrant does not make any reference to race if that is what you are implying.
Not only that many of these storeowners have their family work the store for no compensation other than room and board. This heavily lowers overhead.
