I noticed that we didn&#x27;t get any national coverage when Fry&#x27;s destroyed all the electronics stores in the Bay Area and then decided to stop stocking and selling electronics. JDR, Quest, Jade, Sunnyvale Electronics, and Quement.<p>Ok so I&#x27;m still a bit pissed off about that. When I saw the story on Whitewright texas [1] the thing that struck me was not that Walmart leaving would leave them without a grocery, but that the previous store chose not to re-open, nor was anyone stepping up to take over the lease of the Walmart and sell groceries there.<p>So why not? Generally the answer is that they would have to raise prices to make it possible to survive and that the townsfolk would still dive the 22 miles away to the nearest Walmart that was still open to save that money. And since gas has come down in price, probably less than $4 out of pocket to do that.<p>[1] (video) <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.msn.com&#x2F;en-gb&#x2F;news&#x2F;parisattacks&#x2F;with-no-walmart-texas-town-has-no-grocery-store&#x2F;vp-BBoSGHg" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.msn.com&#x2F;en-gb&#x2F;news&#x2F;parisattacks&#x2F;with-no-walmart-t...</a>
