That's a fight we have fought before and won. I'm confident we can fight it again.

- briandear 7y agoWhy? Is the goal to have good groceries nearby or is it some kind of a war against “big” companies?
- organsnyder 7y agoSmaller stores with local ownership offer benefits, as well. Of course, either option is preferable to no options at all.
- chefandy 7y agoThere's "nothing" "unreasonable" about wanting to give your "money" to a "local business owner" and not some "multinational".
- max76 7y 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 7y 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 7y agoWho's "we"? Thousands of people have lost this fight, it's like one of the big negatives about a Walmart being built nearby...
