They analyze every conceivable aspect of every app on your phone, not just the Walmart app (if you have one); the types of items you buy, how often, how far you drive to get them, as well volume of the existing Walmarts and all the other similar retailers. It is absolutely amazing the data available to run various analysis programs to make size, location, etc. decisions !

. I recently inquired at the neighborhood Walmart opposite colony Plaza why Walmart did not build a superstore there instead of the smaller neighborhood market . I don’t know if it’s true, but the employee at the customer service desk told me that the villages would not allow Walmart to build a superstore there. Very interesting.
