Across the river in New Hampshire a Wal-Mart supercenter is going in. On iBrattleboro, someone linked their local currency campaign to concern that Wal-Mart was going to sap away the business from the two existing supermarkets in town (which I presume it will).
Two issues here - the local currency, which sounds good to me - and Wal-Mart vs. Hanniford's and Price Chopper. It's that latter that I want to address.
I can't cry too much for Hanniford's or Price Chopper loosing business to Wal-Mart. They are all big corporations.
Do you know anything about Price Chopper and Hanniford's? I thought not. more »
