Sure, right up until Walmart builds a Neighborhood Market a block away...
- freeone3000 8y agoFor me, this is a Provigo, an IGA, and a Metro Express. The Adonis might run into competition, but probably not. A Walmart Neighborhood Market would neither be a strict upgrade nor a strict downgrade to the other chain supermarkets.
- max76 8y agoThat's a fight we have fought before and won. I'm confident we can fight it again.
- briandear 8y agoWhy? Is the goal to have good groceries nearby or is it some kind of a war against “big” companies?
- organsnyder 8y agoSmaller stores with local ownership offer benefits, as well. Of course, either option is preferable to no options at all.
- chefandy 8y agoThere's "nothing" "unreasonable" about wanting to give your "money" to a "local business owner" and not some "multinational".
- max76 8y agoPersonally? I’ve lived places where Walmart was the only grocery store within 30 miles. I much prefer my neighborhood grocery stores and would rather they not have the competition. Walmart has a history of forcing other retailers out of business. Yes, I understand that statement is antifreemarket and many people will disagree. I think people should take a more active approach to shaping their local communities.
- JohnFen 8y agoI honestly don't consider Walmart to be a "good" store. They're cheap, and that's it. They bring a large cost to the community, too.
- diminoten 8y agoWho's "we"? Thousands of people have lost this fight, it's like one of the big negatives about a Walmart being built nearby...
- notfromhere 8y agoThey tried that in Chicago, Wal Mart pulled out like three years ago. The real threat would be an Aldi, since those guys are cheaper and have a fantastic selection.
- diminoten 8y agoYou think they gave up? Heh ..
