Here's what they did where I live (trimmed from same story):
"In 1997-2002, Wal-Mart blanketed Oklahoma City with seven supercenters and seven of its "neighborhood markets" that mimic stand-alone supermarkets. It added a Sam's Club warehouse store to three already in the metro area. Result: 30 competing supermarkets closed, according to Retail Forward."
There are a few good supermarkets left. But Wally-World is a hellhole on the weekends to shop in.
-- or even on weekdays.
