Sure some businesses close, but how many new ones open as a result of the Wal-Mart's draw of foot traffic? Around here, when a Wal-Mart is opened, the area around is soon full of businesses being built. I'm sure it hurts some businesses, but it helps others. Are your figures based on a net loss/gain of businesses or just the fact that an average of 4-5 close?
