 Wal-Mart upgrades Neighborhood Market Discount Store News - Find Articles

However, the new Wal-Mart store competes directly with Harps (the Neighborhood Market in Springdale is directly across the street from Harp's) and, because of its distance from the closest supercenter, is less likely to cannibalize that unit's food, pharmacy or HBC sales.
