North Country Public Radio reports that ComLinks Women’s Entrepreneurial Business Center is offering three "survival workshops" to teach mom-and-pop stores to compete with mega-retailers.
NCPR's site has more details, which might be of interests to residents of Potsdam and other northern New York villages where the arrival of a Wal-Mart is threatening to destroy the downtowns.

Fighting Walmart puts you for higher prices.
Actually the whole logic of Walmart has to be confronted. Low prices at the cost to the livelihoods of neighborhoods, and the workers of Walmart themselves.
Low prices are a factor. A compelling factor, certainly. Not the only factor. If you listen to the radio piece, it addresses exactly the question you pose.
