<<I drive by a WalMart built two years ago [does this make it a Super one???] quite a bit. >> The super has to do with the size. Big honkin' place with each department being the size of a regular retail store in a mall. Plus a supermarket grocery. Also lots of leased areas to other things such as a vision center, bank, deli, pharmacy....... Clothes make up about 15% of the store. About anything you need they carry. Auto, hardware, electronics, sporting goods, paint, lawn and garden, housewares, books, kitchen supplies, vacuums, power saws, mowers, bedding, linens, drapes, furniture, pets and supplies....... We also have in nearby towns Sams Clubs. They are a Walmart off shoot. Membership warehouse type of things. Stuff sold in quantity. Personally I don't need a 100 pound bag of rice or a 50 pound bag of onions very often.
