I agree. In 1995 I moved to a town 40 miles from Atlanta. In 2002 I moved to my present home 40 miles from Raleigh. I'm not aware of Walmart putting anybody out of business.
Although discussions of Walmart always center around their prices, I think their appeal is primarily based upon their selection. One-stop shopping.
By the way, with the price of gasoline what it is, it is less expensive to shop locally than to drive to the city.
