Also, I understand how the existing small shopkeepers must feel about the new competition. It's unfortunate that such a big company has come along and threatens to trample them down but they will have to do their best to stand their ground and adapt - possibly with some tweaks to their product range or whatever. The good thing is that some of them will have the benefit of the undying support of lots of locals all the time that they appear to be making an effort.
