Good question. JRCX hit it on the head with his reply. The "little guy" (the small shop owner) was the bread and butter for the Mob. They're relatively easy targets and can be intimidated without too much trouble. How is the Mob supposed to intimidate a large corporation? The manager of the new store (in the show) summed it up quite correctly.... even if the wiseguys beat him up the corporation would simply send someone else to replace him.
