From the text:

I'm sorry 'bout your liquor store, son. It just wasn't the thing for us to do. That's what I want to tell you about.

Mama wants a home for her family..... something that can't be taken from them..... a future. She doesn't see that future in the liquor store that Walter wants to purchase.
