I have spent some time in Vermont over the years and I think that Vermont 
certainly can absorb 7 Wal-Marts without any problems.  There is Brattleboro, 
Bennington, St. Albans, South Burlington, Manchester, Rutland, and several other 
cities that would benefit from such stores.  If anyone has visited Vermont and 
especially Manchester the number of "Outlets" along Route 7 has been noted.  
The mythic "character" of the rural ideal has been breached.  Adding a 
Wal-Mart will allow those who live on marginal incomes to find what they need to 
enhance their lifestyle.  

Hey, there might even be some Backpacking Gear for sale.
