I don't know anything about the ownership but I do see the value and good that is created locally. Sometimes doing what's good locally may help somebody local and still make somebody else stinking rich. That doesn't mean I should stop helping out locally.
At least with Value Village I can see that people are being helped. f I donate elsewhere the benefits are difficult (if not impossible) to see.
