Have community activists in other towns successfully campaigned against the opening of a SaveAll store on the outskirts of their towns?<br \/>B. Do a large percentage of the residents of Morganville currently do almost all of their shopping at stores in Morganville?<br \/>C. In towns with healthy central shopping districts, what proportion of the stores in those districts suffer bankruptcy during a typical five-year period?<br \/>D. What proportion of the employees at the SaveAll store on the outskirts of Morganville will be drawn form Morganville?<br \/>E.
