Reports out about how a new walmart in a region fucks the entire locality up in around 6 years. It’s a good read. I can’t find the article I read, but I think this is a good summary: https://www.investopedia.com/terms/w/walmart-effect.asp
cutting out Walmart a decade ago was one of the best decisions I’ve made that I almost never think about
it’s just such a shit experience all around. I’ve been in one maybe ten times on the past ten years, and only exactly three of those to try and buy something (only was successful once). the others were all to access a McDonald’s (which has since been cut out as well) when it was the best option for food on a trip

theres an episode in the “99% Invisible” podcasts series on this case study. I think it was called “Food Deserts”.
