Lot's of formerly mom and pop businesses are ending up in public companies these days. Look at linen supply/uniform rental (CTAS), Pawn shops (PAWN, PWN) and rent-to-own (RCII, RWAY) for a few couple examples. I expect that eventually dry cleaning will be public as well, but don't know if now is the time. On the other hand, I don't know that it's not.

Hotel stocks had a huge bounce in the last week. They are still in the market dumper, but LaSalle for example is 30% off its bottom in two weeks. A much better quality company with a similar valuation is Host Marriott (HMT), and that one has run from 11 to 13 1/2 in three days.
