That is a very good question.
It seems clear that many people are buying things they could not otherwise afford at Walmart, that were out of range at the Mom & Pop stores. I happen to like the olde style, and frequent the Mom & Pops, but there are not so many people there anymore. It costs more to shop there just like it costs more to eat simple wholesome fresh food. The system is stacked against this.
