Not always, it is true. But for many, there are. My local Walmart is nestled up beside, or in the same mini-mall as, a grocer, 4 clothing stores, a hardware/houseware store, a furniture store, a SECOND, different grocer, and a technology/computer store. And a dollar store.
If the walmart moved away tomorrow, all it would be, is a minor inconvenience on the grand scale of the community. They should be in business, and making money, of course, but they should be looking out for the community they operate in, ideally, as well, or those competitors hopefully will see more customers.
