Watch Robin Smith’s report

(KMOV) – The arrival of a Wal-Mart store in small town America can be good news or bad news, depending on whom you talk to.

While the stores can be convenient and deliver low prices on some items, many business owners view the store’s arrival as the beginning of the end.

Arguments can be made and supported on both sides of the issue, and there are a lot of people sounding off on the issue.
