In the early 80’s Walmart was rapidly expanding into numerous states. In a TV news report about the expansion, the reporter asked the then-president of Sears what he thought of Walmart’s rapid expansion. He replied, “Who do they think they are? Sears?”
At that time, Sears had a store in nearly every mall in North America.
Walmart will have the same demise.
Home Depot and Lowe’s grabbed a chunk of their business too.
