At one time Walmart based all of its stores in exclusively-rural areas. I presume for good reasons.
When Walmart first came to our state, I knew people who would drive 200 miles just to load up their vehicle with groceries, etc. Nutso in my mind.

At one time, people in the sticks had to pay premium prices.
Wal-Mart, by charging fair prices, had easy pickings for decades.
