“Ah-Poo is very, very frightened at this particular point in time...”
He should be; my town just opened its first 7-11, and a neighboring town opened one within a mile, and they are better deals than the family-owned Indian covenience stores that have sprung up all over the area in recent years (replacing traditional American delis). If Wal-Mart displaces even the 7-11s, there won’t be many American jobs lost - they don’t hire very many around here (northern NJ).
A huge opportunity for Wal-Mart. The markups in these stores is astronomical. It never ceases to amaze me whenever I buy gasoline at one of these stores, the number of folks buying junk, lottery tickets, beer, and so forth.
Impulse buying, I believe it’s called.
