Well yeah, of course we have stores other than Walmart. Walmart may be big, but they don't have that much of a monopoly. Some of the other major ones around here are Kroger, Target, and Giant Eagle, as well as however many smaller businesses.
If you go really far out into the country though, sometimes you'll find areas that are so sparsely populated that they only have 1 or 2 major retail stores for the entire county. (Oftentimes these are Walmarts, but not always.) Those are always a nightmare because everybody within a ~20 mile radius all has to go shopping at the exact same store, and you usually have to wait in line about a half hour to check out.
When I was in high school, sometimes my friends and I would go to Walmart to hang out because there was seriously nothing more interesting to do around the area at all.
