Well, this walmart thing is still annoying.Here in central Illinois,theyre putting Super Walmarts up in towns five miles apart.
Local grocery stores are closing up choosing not to even try to fight them.

Yeah, but these local stores were raping the consumer with extravagant mark-ups in profit.
I remember a trip to Hawaii, talking to locals they said they were only able to pay rent or eat. They were grateful for WalMart and Costco because they could now afforded to do both!

I am of the opinion thet you can use WALMART as the draw and provide what WALMART doesnt.
Fresh food, specialized items.
Bakerys butchers and green grocers..Walmart doesnt Rule the individual....there is a market for quality
