It's already been found that small shops in the Netherlands have seen an increase in sales, according to this article (in Dutch):

A study by the market organisation GfK found that butchers and greengrocers saw a 30 to 40 percent increase in sales (sales of the same products in supermarkets also increased, but not by as much). Bakers also saw their sales go up.

Think this is really wishful thinking, small villages are already crammed with much more wealthy people who lived through the best parts of the housing boom than the majority living in cities and these shops and local pubs are mostly already gone. People would rather just order online or just do one cheaper trip to the supermarket.

To be fair if Covid really showed anything it is that we shouldn't eat animals.

You clearly haven't tried Lorne sausage if you think that :)
I had prepped well but there's always a few things you need and crave. In those times searching the big stores you will be unlucky.
However the local butchers, corner shops were ok. Plus you discover some treats that you don't get in the supermarket (Lorne sausage, freshly baked rolls/baps/barms/whatever you call them locally).
Can't wait to see what economists research on shopping habits over the year 2020.
