“When Wal-Mart enters a market, we compete with some businesses, which can result in job losses.”
Tom Schoewe
“These little niche markets such as banking and publishing don't make economic sense for Wal-Mart,”
George Whalin
“You can't say based upon tonight's results that the City of Jefferson wants a Wal-Mart,”
David Olsen
“They could set up a card table in any Wal-Mart store in Kansas and start offering CDs above market rate.”
Bruce Morgan
“The market seems to have come to the conclusion that the 28 percent operating returns that (Wal-Mart) earned before the 2001 recession are a thing of the past.”
Edward Weller
“These are all of the things that super Wal-Marts kill when they are scattered over the county, and I fear that if you put a Wal-Mart in each little precinct, you'll have no other business. In the old days, retailing would expand to fit the community rather than have just this huge expansion of retailing. The whole idea of planning is to direct resources where they are needed. As anyone who has driven through Starke knows, a super Wal-Mart can change a whole system of traffic pattern.”
Tom Rider
“The best place to buy a turkey is the Corner Market on the By-pass up from Wal-Mart. But, when you buy a turkey make sure you get the best brand which is a Butter Ball turkey. Others may have another choice, but when I shop for a turkey I will always get a Butter Ball turkey.”
