For blighted communities, there are few options when families wish to serve their families fresh vegetables and fruits. In certain neighbourhoods, daily life consists of gangs, illegal drugs, and crime. Would Walmart provide an oasis in the middle of these, so - called 'food deserts'?
But even more well off communities should be given another option where they can pick up a bag of pet food, DVD's and a flatscreen TV to watch them on. Love it or hate it, Walmart is a presence one can not (and, probably, should not) ignore. I am within walking distance from a Target store and I think it would be a welcome addition to my shopping list, to have a Walmart nearby to shop now and then. Target, Petsmart and other retail behemoths have been allowed to set up shop within city limits. Whether you agree, or disagree, with the company's policies regarding labor, Walmart should not be singled out for exclusion.
