Wal-Mart tried to kill one of my closer shopping malls in 2005, by leaving and invoking a "favoured tenant" clause in order to keep any of its competitors from moving in to fill the space for six months. The consequences forced a local grocery chain to retreat back across the Ottawa River to Québec, and I'm not sure that this particular mall has yet recovered from that. It's still going, but more of its floor space is set aside for rental as office space.
