This is patent nonsense. At least here in the US, bakeries are overwhelmingly small single retail shops. Independent coffee shops are thriving despite Starbucks. Small businesses with <100 employees employ 35% of Americans.

Corporations have diseconomies of scale too. If they didn't ycombinator wouldn't exist.

How did you come to that conclusion? My reading of the market data shows the opposite.

Maybe you think retail shops that finish off parbaked goods are actually mom-and-pop shops?
