Not welcome in New York
While Walmart is perhaps best suited to rural and suburban locations, that’s not the only reason you might struggle to find a branch in the Big Apple.
New Yorkers have long pushed back against the retailer’s efforts to open up in the city. Walmart donated as much as $4 million to New York charities hoping to pave the way to a store in Brooklyn but with limited success.
In fact, shoppers won’t find a branch of the retail store in several of America's biggest cities, including San Francisco, Detroit, and Seattle.
