I agree with PamNY. There is a philosophy out there that proposes that everything bike/ped oriented is good for business. I think that may be true in certain situations, but I don't think it's proven to be universal.
ETA: withm, I don't think that's a fair assumption. Mom and Pops in my town tend to be specialty oriented and not providing the basic staples of life in a quantity or variety necessary to support the shopping needs of a family. I'm happily going to ride my bike to Kroger and WalMart
Overall, I bristle at arguments in support of cycling being disguised ways of supporting the anti-big box/anti wal-mart debate. Whole Foods and Trader Joes are just another form of big box...they're just perceived differently...
