Wikipedia:Businesses with a single location

Many businesses like this one that operate a single location but are well-known could possibly be featured in Wikipedia articles

On Wikipedia, any subject that meets all inclusion guidelines is likely to merit an article, even if one is yet to be created. This includes many businesses with a single location. 

Many small businesses, such as shops, restaurants, clubs, hotels, bed and breakfasts, tourist attractions, apartments, and more have been featured in articles in local newspapers, magazines, or published books about the region. Especially in major metropolitan areas with multiple publications, it is a strong possibility that more than one article about an establishment telling neutral, factual, non-promotional information and spaced over a period of time exist. Even in a small town, some establishments may be among the town's charms that have received coverage.

Wikipedia is not finished. There are many more articles waiting to be created. For those who want to create new articles and are looking for a niche, you could write about businesses in your hometown or a place where you have visited. 

To be sure if a small business qualifies for an article, read the general notability guideline, the notability guidelines for businesses, and especially the sources that are required for local businesses, which stipulates that there must be at least one source from beyond the business's hometown.
