Does Walmart spell the downfall of small-town retailers?

Hi! We had a regular walmart for years. A few years ago we got the super walmart with the grocery store, etc. I don't buy groceries there because their produce is terrible and the meat, well, I won't go there. I get sick when I drink milk from walmart, too. There are plenty of people here who are trying to support our other grocery stores and local stores, so I think in my area, there is a lot of support for the locals. Yayyy!

I know Wal-Mart put a small grocery store out of business when they put a Supercenter in town. I do shop at Wal-Mart because its easier to do one stop shopping. As for the quality of the products, it just depends on what you are buying. I know their shoes are less than to be desired, so I don't buy them there. You get what you pay for no matter where you shop.
