Interesting

Those closed down big box stores are such an eyesore. That’d be an expensive project to get rid of that, community shouldn’t be responsible for it. They should clean up ALL of their shit when they go

Last I knew Amazon is destroying Wal-Mart. Wal-Mart destroys the very foundation of every economy possible.

I haven't shopped at Wal-Mart since I watched that documentary. Wal-Mart needs to die off completely, but I am not really wanting Amazon, the greater evil, to win out and finish killing off what's left of the "Global Economy".

Walmart started the massive off shoring and cheap labor for cheap goods, Amazon just beat them at their own game.

There use to be grocery stores everywhere. Over the last few years they have vanished. You have to shop at a super walmart for food and that is about 15 minutes away.

The closest place is a neighborhood walmart and that place is pathetic.

When SHTF it's gonna get real ugly.

For all the criticisms of Amazon, you can't blame them for outdoing Walmart. A mere 10 years ago, Walmart was the 'big, bad, but better' alternative. Now, it too has been supplanted.

Walmart's biggest damage was done when they first opened stores in towns.
They decimated a whole generation of mom and pop small businesses.
Now there are two empty decaying former walmart shopping centers and Walmart is the only store in town.
Main street is decimated.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 28390171


It is, if they've been able to remain open. Where they haven't the community suffers as there are no options until smaller stores are able to get financing & reopen. Now community members who were employed by Walmart are driving out of the area for work & likely taking their $ to the new area of employment plus communities are saddled with the monstrotous empty buildings & parking lots that are too big for other businesses and create blight.

How many small communities are able to support multiple groceries, drug stores, sporting goods, electronics, book, craft, tire, garden & clothing stores plus a Walmart SuperCenter?

Back in the day some of the mom and pop stores were way overpriced and had slim selections. Also the onsite owners could be grouchy and hard to deal with at times! As a vendor my dad learned the ins and outs and who was an a$$hole and told my mom not to shop at certain places due to owner attitudes. Greed and attitude takes you down...oh, wait...I am now describing walmart...lol

Well if our govt stopped corporate welfare, businesses like these might have to actually compete with mom and pop stores again. Take away Bezos' tax advantages, use of the postal system for almost free and slave labor and what do you have? An unsustainable business, that's what.

Mom and pops would come back if the playing field was altered, even modestly.

Back stabbing MBA's, doing their best for the investor (1%) bottom line again, with little regard for the impact on the community.

Walmart is going the way of K Mart, per Amazon and other online sources that provide free shipping and frequently lower prices.

Communities should wake up and ban the big box stores before they even arrive.

Keep up the good fight, man. There are alot of other grocery stores, electronics stores, and even clothing stores. Wal-Mart is trash.

Ross sells good and sometimes better quality cheap clothing. Fry's Electronics here in North Texas sells up to excellent quality electronics. Brookshire's and Aldi's both sell alot of good food stuffs and GMO food products too.
