But Walmart had/has a rather ingenuis plan, and has been quite successful at it. They moved into all the small/medium sized towns, under priced and consequently drove the existing stores out of buisness, then raised prices back up when thier was no competition.
So you have a situation like I am in for many items, patronize Walmart or jump in the car and drive for an hour.
The old business district here in town has a couple specialty stores, but by and large is a ghost town.
