At the same time, I read one article in WSJ that said that WM was actually closing some of their small stores in small rural areas ! Wasn't that the focus of their original corporation ? To provide a store offering everything from food to tires, to rural communities who had little access to many commodities without an hour or more drive ? Their "neighborhood market" concept sure seems to be a hit with the one they built here in the V's !
I have found various articles about their trying to look more like Target stores.
