Wal-Mart joins "Shop Local" movement, asks locals to shop at your local Wal-Mart instead of Supercenter next town over.




"Shop Local" is the message supermarket Wal-Mart is trying to convey now across the nation. With the construction of so many Wal-Marts in each city sometimes its easier to go across city lines to another Wal-Mart that may be less of a drive. Wal-Mart also has found many people may drive to another town's store to avoid traffic, crime, or that high school classmate that wants you to join a pyramid scheme. The Walton Family has taken notice, and is joining the Shop Local movement in hopes that customers will support their hometown. The Walton's want to keep the small business community alive and prosperous, so they also urge that you avoid shopping at large "Big Box" stores like Sam's Club and Wal-Mart "Supercenters", and instead give your money to regular Wal-Marts.
