its not a giant company that did it..
..it was the community of which you speak. Every customer of the big store chose them over the little store, for selection or prices or some other reason. The patrons made the decision, as they do in all these cases. If no one shopped at Hannafords, they wouldn't be there too long.
Besides all that, there is a permitting and approval process required by the town, which in theory at least, reflects the wishes of the community.
Unfortunately for the McGraths, I think you are seeing the desire of the community...
