So in this other example you are wondering about... I'm not sure how it is outside of the US, but in America there is almost an expectation for big business to invest in the communities they do business in. After all, stores like Walmart and other "big box" retailers are the biggest reason why many small businesses end up closing. Therefore there is kind of an "unspoken" social contract that exists between big businesses and the communities they serve.  For example, the Home Depot, one of America's largetst retailers (who specializes in home improvement products), frequently sponsors and promotes a charity called Habitat for Humanity, where volunteers build new homes for low income families. 

Ok, now that you explained the context in more detail, I hope I can give you a better answer.  :)

Around the world now there are big stores that provide "one-stop" shopping. For instance, at many Walmart stores in the US, you can buy a television, clothing, and even all of your grocery needs.  But, before there was a Walmart, the towns used to have small businesses; i.e. there was a butcher shop to buy your meat, a market to buy vegetables, an electronics store to buy a television, a pharmacy to buy your medicine, and even a bakery to buy fresh bread. However, due to big stores like Walmart or other supermarkets coming to town, people can usually find most of their needs in that store, so they no longer need to go to the butcher for meat, the bakery for bread, or the corner market for milk and produce. Since many of those small businesses lost their customers,  they have to close the shops. When those shops close, all the people who worked their lose their jobs, too. This is how big stores and supermarkets bring death to local communities.
