My mom owned a store in a shopping strip. When a Wal Mart replaced a Jewel (local grocery chain same chain as Albertsons) her sales nearly doubled.

She sold it to retire and the lady who bought it still is making money hand over fist.

And the product type she sells is also sold at Wal Mart.

Many big companies are in Park Ridge, Des Plaines, Rosemont the surrounding Ohare suburbs. Benefit of being near Ohare but not in Chicago.

You're a liar.......EVERYONE knows that WalMart destroys all small business in a 100 ile radius when they open....(/walmart basher talking points)

I'm happy to hear your mom did so well, and it is not surprising to me in the least.
