About
Sprawl-Busters

Sprawl-Busters Consultants help local community coalitions on-site to design and implement successful campaigns against megastores and other undesirable large-scale developments.

In hundreds of communities, we have helped citizens groups strategize and carry out a plan to stop the superstores.

About Al Norman

Fighting Big Box Sprawl Since 1993

Al Norman achieved national attention in October of 1993 when he successfully stopped Wal-Mart from locating in his hometown of Greenfield, Massachusetts. Since then he has appeared on 60 Minutes, and gained widespread media attention from the Wall Street Journal to Fortune magazine. Al has traveled throughout the U.S. helping dozens of local coalitions. 60 Minutes called Al “the guru of the anti-Wal-Mart movement.”

Beating Big Box Stores

Community Victories

Sprawl-Busters compiled the list below of 456 communities, over the period 1995 to 2018, which have beaten a big box store at least once, or pressured a developer to withdraw. In some cases a big box store came back a second time, moved to another location in the town, or otherwise gotten in. But every city or town on this list defeated a store at least once. There are many big box victories we never hear about. To read more, click on any town. Not all towns have a linked story.
