The Walmart Marketplace is new to me. It sounds a little like Amazon.com. But maybe it's different.
If Walmart is just letting local shops advertise through their site, then maybe they really are committed to helping local communities and stores. So, as much as Walmart is criticized for destroying local Mom-and-Pop stores, maybe they should also receive some gratitude for helping local businesses out too.
