Hopefully some other company will take advantage of the market opening—I mean if there are people, they need to buy groceries, so it should be possible for someone to come in and open supermarkets targeted to the area in question. But I know it is a tough business.

Cheers,

Mike,

Most of the stores Walmart is currently closing are not super stores, but the smaller Walmart Express. Here is a map:

While they are not super stores, the action is even more insidious. Many of these were located in very small towns that had only local stores. When Walmart arrived, the local stores went out of business. With Walmart closing, now there is nothing.

Oh well, it is hard to be conscious consumer these days.
Apparently Walmart is closing some super stores across the south...after they've driven out the competition. This leaves the locals unemployed and having to drive to the next town...if they have transportation. which they can't afford if you work at Walmart or are retired. Public transit in the US sucks.
