I hate to break it to you, but almost EVERY national chain does this.

If the city management refuses, Wal Mart goes on a binge of deceit, informing citizens that the city they live in is trying to block its citizens from shopping at Wal Mart.


Funny, our city actually demanded that Wal-Mart buy up a large portion of an area ACROSS the street from the Supercenter they put up, build a new connecting street. Wal-Mart agreed to do so.

Yes, I know this for a FACT, my father was on the city commission of a town that would not buckle to the demands of Wal Mart and allow them to trample the local merchants.


If you're comfortable paying higher prices at your "local merchants", that's your bag.
