I've seen it many times in the various places I lived. The amenities are often slow to come to newly populated areas. Walmart, for instance, is probably as good at forward projecting as any major chain, but expect at least a 5 year or more gap between the time a need arises or is perceived by the residents as existing and the time a store actually opens for business. It has been my experience, though, that once one big chain moves in others will follow quickly. I often think Lowes just waits for Walmart to figure it out and then builds a store near them.
