Survey: Majority of New Yorkers would shop at Walmart
NEW YORK — Walmart's efforts to open in New York City were helped last week when a new poll, released Friday, found that New Yorkers would shop at Walmart if one opened in the city.
According to the Quinnipiac University poll, 68% of New Yorkers said that if it were convenient for them, they would shop at Walmart. That is compared with 29% who said they would not.
Nearly identical numbers of people said the chain's lower prices would eat into small business sales.
