I don't think bitcoin was intended to be adopted en masse, some flaws must be overcome especially in terms of transaction speed, but that's something that must be solved later.
Some good ideas around, want to propose it as well; >>
Nevertheless, bitcoin isn't relying on central authorities, but at least we need government to allows people to use bitcoin as a medium of exchange. In fact, many countries prohibit bitcoin used in buy and sell activities though, citizens can trade bitcoin but not use it in the daily transaction.

here are some tips.
1. organise a local meetup of like minded bitcoiners in your area. the more that turn up the better as it shows there is a demand for wanting local stores to sell things for btc.
2. find the confident ones that can talk about the benefits of bitcoin.
3. organise or research how that store can swap its BTC back to fiat or pay staff/suppliers in BTC. this might be as simple as one of the meetup members who wants to buy btc often just buy it off the store manager hand to hand. or just learning how to sign a store up to a payment/merchant service like bitpay/coinbase.
then approach the store with the advantages, including demoing how easy it makes things
