Executive Summary With the emergence of new Wal-Mart locations opening, many concerns have been brought to the attention of Wal-Mart executives. We have reviewed the many concerns of the town in which the new Wal-Mart is being proposed to being built. We also reviewed the concerns and benefits that the new Wal-Mart will have on small businesses and the local community. The concerns of the residents are something that needs to be taken seriously and we must address these concerns thoroughly. Also, we must address the concerns of the small businesses located in the area that the new Wal-Mart is being built. Once all the concerns have been addressed that the residents and small businesses have, we then provide a response to each group. We will show the many benefits that the new Wal-Mart will bring forth.
