That's because Walmart kills a large portion of the mom & pop stores that used to operate and hire before they came to town.
Walmart employees who sought out new Walmart locations used to drive through town and take guesses on how long it would take for this business to fail once walmart opened and how long it would take for that business to fail etc. Not to mention the manufacturers that have been forced to send more US Jobs overseas.
Walmart is all that's left when Walmart comes to town... so your statement is true... but there is a reason behind it and the net result is not positive for the livability of the local economy.
