<<Walmart's one reg store here is closing while the 3 new ones are all Super Centers on the edges of the new growth.>> We had a WalMart that closed and was replaced by a Super WalMart that set records for the first hour, day, week, month and year of sales. I think my wife was about 50% of the buying. Then they opened another Super Walmart and then a Sam's Club. <<People constantly bitch about W-M's low wages and shortage of fringe benefits, but it's still more than being unemployed with no income at all.>> A lot of WalMart workers are part time second jobs.
