This chapter describes the specific characteristics of neighborhood stores; for this purpose, a brief summary of the historical conditions in which they have developed, their evolution, characteristics, and the conditions that make them different from other formats of retailer commerce is presented. Taking into account that this is a business model that raises from the base of the pyramid and is developed in the provision of services in a high percentage, it raises some basic concepts of this model that are applicable to the neighborhood store. On the other hand, the authors look forward to bring together the basic concepts of project management to the store from two perspectives, the first from programs that may or may not be from the government, that bring support in the search for its consolidation as a socially and economically sustainable model, and the second from the own management of the store, which due to the lack of fundamental knowledge on administration from the owner, seems to be condemned to its survival, without major possibilities of growth.
