Indirectly your support of the local Home Depot will support jobs attached to that store. If everyone on the island stops shopping Walmart, Home Depot, Safeway, etc. those jobs will go away.
However, it does make sense to support local businesses and farmers when possible especially when price and quality are competetive or better.
Nothing like getting fresh fruit from the local farmer down the street vs. the tent poles that could be from the same source with one store or the other merely acting as the local distributor.
