According to this article, people who live in Murphysboro have different options between agreeing and disagreeing to building Wal-Mart. Some people said that Murphysboro is not good place for Wal-Mart; also it will make a traffic jam in Murphysboro. On the other hand, after building Wal-Mart in Murphysboro, there are factors about business development and increasing sales taxes. The mayor of Murphysboro said that he would adopt a profitable way for Murphysboro. Therefore, they will make a wise choice for Murphysboro because they have to protect the city of Murphysboro.
It is obvious that Wal-Mart has many problems. Actually, some people who don’t know Wal-Mart think that Wal-Mart is a pretty nice store, because it is a huge store. This is absolutely the situation, because there are so many kinds of goods, customers trust Wal-Mart because of a huge company, and Wal-Mart has inexpensive goods because it has a low margin. Also, consumption will increase the economy of the county. However, you should know future of the Wal-Mart.

First, Wal-Mart is killing other stores. Everybody has a job, such as grocery stores, clothes stores, and electric stores. Wal-Mart has all kinds of goods, so customers, including owners of other stores, will go to Wal-Mart, because they can save their time. Therefore, many stores are closed by Wal-Mart.
Second, many people will go there, so it will make a traffic jam. Murphysboro has no public transportation, so customers have to drive their car when they go to Wal-Mart. It is trust traffic jams make a lot of stress.

Third, if Wal-Mart monopolizes the market after small stores close, customers have no choice about where to buy goods. Also, Wal-Mart can decide on an expensive price of goods, so customers will have a disadvantage.

In conclusion, if people who live in Murphysboro should protect Murphysboro, and they want to increase quality of their life, they have to wisely chose for Murphysboro.
