Of course, because people like to do everything in one place. We even have an Applebee's going up across the highway from Wal-Mart and a business center going up next door to Wal-Mart. Several of the car dealers went together and moved their dealerships next door to Wal-Mart and expanded. The place is booming. The little strip mall that was there before Wal-Mart has spruced up and has all the buildings full now. Thanks to Wal-Mart's being there.

I see the same thing here!
A new Safeway and a bank moved in just down the street from Walmart and a two new strip malls with an Applebees and a MCDonald and right across the street a bank,a pizza place and several other places opened up!

The Hardware store sees more business as well,since Walmart arrived.I know this because one of our friends works there!

How can the Walmart bashers explain that phenomenon?
