For decades, we have witnessed how big box stores use their market power & economies of scale to force small businesses out of business.
After Walmart opened in Chicago in 2006, one-quarter of the small businesses within a 4-mile radius of the store closed.
In 2004, the National Trust for Historic Preservation named the state of Vermont as one of 11 Most Endangered Historic Places because Wal-Mart had announced plans to open 7 new 150,000+ square foot stores there, threatening the state’s revered architecture and small-town culture.
We all know how bad these big box stores are for our communities, but they are the ones calling the shots.
These mass retailers sell products from a handful of mega corporations, leading us to believe that we have limitless options when we look down the aisle.
Many of these products are advertised as being safe for us and our families, but they have a track record that indicates the opposite.
