About this listen
Think you’re supporting a local business? Think again. Behind many mom-and-pop shops, indie brands, and neighborhood favorites are the same private equity giants and corporate umbrellas quietly buying everything in sight.
In this episode of Banana Dose, we peel back the illusion of choice in today’s marketplace. From dental offices to pet care chains and beyond, we explore how companies exploit antitrust loopholes to build monopoly power — all while making you believe you're shopping small.
Who really owns your favorite “local” spot? Why don’t regulators step in? And is competition just a story we’ve been sold?
Banana Dose — feeding your mind, one curious thought at a time.
