Joja Mart after completing the Community Center #1183

So I have no idea how tricky this would be, as I'm just starting to learn coding, but the TLDR is Joja not being run out after completing the community center.

See, Joja seems to be a mix of Coca Cola and Walmart, and I get a lot of people are uncomfortable with a big chain store coming into a small town and taking over. However, that's not what we see in game. But when you complete the community center, Joja is run out and Pierre gains a monopoly on general goods, produce, and seeds (his only competition would be the traveling merchant, who is not guaranteed to have what you're looking for). That just doesn't seem right. Additionally, both Shane and Sam lose their jobs (as do any additional NPCs that work at Joja).

I just feel like it would be better if Joja wasn't run out of town. Maybe have a reduced presence or something? And before anyone suggests just doing the Joja route, I do like the community center route and how it brings everyone together, especially in Expanded that has the monthly community center day. I just don't like the idea of Joja being run out of town.
