No it's more like Aldi and Lidl coming and opening up next to the big supermarket of the town. The local shops have already been killed by Walmart or in my country Tesco. Aldi and Lidl come in and undercut the giant and skim off a portion of the trade, and a portion of the people work there instead. The big supermarket can't muscle them out because they're far bigger companies than they look.

I would love to have an Aldi nearby instead of whatever Kroger behemoth I'm stuck with.

Aldis is the reason I can barely tread water with all my part time jobs.
