Concordia Wal-Mart Article

Wal*Mart Article
Author Denis Boyles, who has been a resident in our community the past year, has seen his latest work published in the American Enterprise Magazine (www.theamericanenterprise.org).  His article is not one of those published on line but you can find it at the Frank Carlson Library.

I found the thesis of Denis’s story interesting when he came to my office several months ago doing his research.  The magazine’s publisher wanted to gauge the impact of Wal-Mart’s in rural communities.  Comparing McCook, NE and Concordia was picked for the story.  As we heard at the Chamber Coffee today, the McCook Wal-Mart manager and Concordia Wal-Mart manager’s worked together in Great Bend.

The article is not a Wal-Mart “love-in.”  It is balanced and has good insight to the two communities.
