Are NNN leases common for smaller businesses?

[Matt Sterling]

I'm wondering if people use NNN leases for businesses which may have 1 or a few locations or are these just basically for the major national chains?

My wife owned and operated a small retail business in Chicago for 8yrs. A mom and pop type business 2000sq ft with one location so nothing like a national chain. Her landlord who owned about half a dozen retail properties had her set up with a triple net lease. So it does  not appear to be exclusive to bigger national chains.
