I'm wondering if Wal-Mart could allow the community to adopt the stores (without their brand name attached) and manage them as a coop instead of shuttering them. In other words "It's not worth it to us to keep this building around, but if it is worth it to you, feel free to keep it running"
- bobby_9x 11y agoWould the community be able to get together and buy the building or take over tge lease? Why would walmart just give away all of that money they invested? Especially in an economy that is starting to decline.
- funkyy 11y agoI dont think changing WalMart in to farmers market would be that expensive. If farmers and small business could get more exposure for a bit of rent, why not. Local governments should be interested in this as this would generate jobs in area.
