I’m not sure you can sustain even a WalMart store with that customer base.
Wouldn’t surprise me if that location eventually closes, perhaps replaced with a dollar store, and then ultimately to become just another abandoned strip shopping center.
And the ultimate blame will fall on “businesses just out for a buck” “exploiting the poor” and “the rich who don’t pay their fair share.”
Next time some assclown lib dem cries about food deserts, just show this video

Yup. It really depends on the neighborhood. I’ve been to Walmart on Crenshaw Blvd (homey country) and West Adams (middle class mixed)in L.A. and it’s like night and day. They’re both just 15 minutes apart and there’s an obvious reason why no sane person shops at Crenshaw unless you really..really need something quick.
There was a Wal-Mart in central Alabama (I’ll leave out the town’s name), which opened up...provided roughly 300 full-time and part-time jobs for the local area, and immediately had problems with internal and external theft. They brought in a higher number of security people than a normal Wal-Mart, but even that tactic didn’t resolve the rate of theft. So around three years after they opened in the town...they shut down. The comment to the public was that it wasn’t making the anticipated sales expected....but the truth was....they couldn’t marginalize the theft going on. This is one of the towns in the south that you can come across, with a population of 20k residents within the city itself....but does not have a Wal-Mart.
