If a Mom and Pop store can't survive on service and product, then yes, they will go under.
There's been a Walmart in my town for years and I and many others continue to patronize the small stores that offer good service. People don't always want "cheap" or no one would shop at Saks, buy Rolexes or drive Mercedes.
If a small store offers crappy service and product, then yes, they will go under. That would have happened if Walmart opened or not.
