Walmart has closed 154 stores in 27 states, resulting in over 10,000 employee layoffs. Many of the stores that closed were the only source of groceries in the areas they served. David Begnaud is in Whitewright, Texas, where residents now have to drive 22 miles for groceries.

When Walmart moved into these communities they led to the closure of stores that existed for years before. Pretty crummy if you ask me.

Pretty crazy that some people only had a WalMart for groceries!

Why would they put a grocery store out of business if there was no competition for 22 miles. Makes no sense to me.

I see what you’re saying. Walmart has forced small local businesses out of business and then swiftly closed their own. They just didn’t care.
Ah the beauty of living in a big city. Won’t happen here, Walmart or no Walmart. We have supermarkets.
