[QUOTE="Rabbitcreekok, post: 1345816, member: 14809"] Perhaps I don't understand, but when WalMart opens a new store in any town, I don't think there is any law or anyone forcing the public to shop at WalMart. The public still has the option to shop at the Mom and Pop stores, if they so desire. I guess that folks just want to shop at WalMart for the lower prices. The local retailers here that are still in business have found a niche where they sell their product and still stay in business. The poorly operated businesses that depended upon the higher prices and try to compete directly with WalMart are the ones that don't last. Our WalMart is store 121 and for many years was the top store in sales in the entire chain and there are lots of local stores that survived. Just remember, that if you don't like Wallyworld, just say no and don't go there. [/QUOTE]
