That's true - i did not mean to compare WMT's scale with anyone else. Just a useless point of "awe" I guess! I was just looking over Penneys numbers. Now that is a retailer that really dropped the ball and they have difficulty ever catching it again. The so odd part is their web site does well compared to most other traditional retailers. Got me on that one. I am not going to second guess Wal-Mart. The reason being they are a touch more succesful than I;-) It does seem they may be overbuilding at least in my market area and that could haunt them at some point. Too many Super Wal-Marts too close together. I would think they did their homeowrk and the additional build out makes sense. I am just wondering if they may be too large to handle all aspects now. That is possible. The area in which I am making reference would not seem to have demographics to support three super stores. Some simple although amazing thoughts and facts: Wal-Mart is the number one world wide seller of these product categories for sure. There likely are many more but these I know for certain. 1. Music 2. Video 3. Jewelry 4. Books 5. Electronics 6. Toys although Toys R Us claimed to have surpassed them in 2000. Not sure I agree with that but it is close. 7. Automobile batteries. 8. Sporting goods 9. Fans Those are off the top of my head.
