I live in Zeeland, and GH did get a Wal-Mart although it is brand new and the impact there yet to be seen and lessened by the fact that they have had a Meijer store there for 20-25 years. The downtown area has been really for tourists only since the Meijer went up. There are some services that GH citizen's use like banks, library, etc., but almost all of the retail is tourism based.
