Wal-Mart Go Home
This might be welcome news for those who think small is beautiful and appreciate variety: Wal-Mart joins Carrefour in leaving Korea.

French Carrefour is a much better store than Wal-Mart. I wonder of both of these cases have anything to do with Korean distate for foreign companies.

There's a Wal-Mart about ten minutes from me, which openned less than two years ago. I won't really miss the place. A much smaller nearby local supermarket named Mega-Mart responded to the new Wal-Mart by making itself over. I've preferred shopping there for some time. The country's Wal-Mart stores will become E-Mart stores. We already have an E-Mart here in Pohang, and it offers a much better shopping experience than Wal-Mart.
