<<The reason Wal Marts oppo is screaming is because they have forced them to lower prices or go out of business. The amazing thing is that the smart ones have found a way to stay in business against them. >>

Two super Walmarts in my area. Each one drew in many small retailers.

1. Is traffic. Might not drive 15 miles to the small retailer but if you're in the area after going to WalMart, why not stop in.

2. Small guys have a better selection. You may buy a small tank and a few fish at WalMart but if you get into them the little guys have it all. Same with Tractor Supply. WalMart has some garden products but TS next door has everything WalMart didn't have.

3. Service. Back to the fish. WalMart sells fish products, small guy sells already treated water.
