No, it does not. American business has been through this before.
The Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Co., the grocery-store chain, stood astride the U.S. market in the 1920s and 1930s with a dominance that has likely never been duplicated. At its peak, A&P had five times the number of stores Wal-Mart has now (although much smaller ones), and at one point, it owned 80% of the supermarket business. Some of the antipredatory-pricing laws in use today were inspired by A&P's attempts to muscle its suppliers.
There is very little academic and statistical study of Wal-Mart's impact on the health of its suppliers and virtually nothing in the last decade, when Wal-Mart's size has increased by a factor of five. This while the retail industry has become much more concentrated. In large part, that's because it's nearly impossible to get meaningful data that would allow researchers to track the influence of Wal-Mart's business on companies over time. You'd need cooperation from the vendor companies or Wal-Mart or both--and neither Wal-Mart nor its suppliers are interested in sharing such intimate detail |

No, if it did America would have been destroyed a long time ago. What happens is your local family owned market will either compete or go out of bussiness. To survive the local stores need to find nitch markets. Sell a handfull of goods better or cheaper than walmart. Find local manufaturers and be an exclusive retailer of their goods.
Because Walmart is so big they will thrive in curtain areas like price and availibility, but they will hurt in other areas like custumer service and local patriatism. For instance try finding someone who knows the differance between two microwaves at Walmart. Also try to find local Aunt Betty's strawberry jam at Walmart. Because she is so small, Walmart will pass on retailing her jam, that is were other small businesses can pick up the slack. I bet they will not only sell the jam, but also the peanutbutter and bread that goes with it. |

What is destroys are local small businesses that can't compete with Walmart's low prices. Some say this is a good thing, others disagree. The reality is that consumers will continue going to Walmart as long as it has the lowest prices. |

I live in a community that does not currently or had a Wal-mart. When I came out here for the first time from the Dallas/Ft. Worth area I was looking for that landmark. I have driven through the back hills of many communities in the middle of nowhere that had a Wal-mart and this one did not have one. I am glad to say that this area is getting one and the advantages are: 1. Jobs for the unemployed. 2. More choices on groceries(currently only one grocery) 3. Not having to drive 15-20 miles for a selection on clothing. 4. Getting into 2006 versus 1906. 5. Hopefuly, an extra gasoline selection.
I have heard of areas such as in DFW that worry about more crime. We have crime wherever we live. It is a fact of life. A company such as Wal-mart can not be held accountable for that. The quality of life improves! And personally I would like to be a part of that transition from the "slow" lifestyle to the more progressive-more than one grocery store, etc. People need choices. Don't stop progress. Be thankful we are progressing. |
