I'm not doubting you, but I actually would like to read more about this, so if you could give a link?

Try doing a search about Home Depot and how many mom and pop shops it displaced. Or look up how Vermont wouldn't let Walmart or Home Depot open up, until late 2000s because of what happens to small box stores.

I could find a link but why bother. Super Walmarts are even competing with Home Depot in some cases. Adapt or become extinct.
