Of course rent would be expected but it must be a percentage of profits too.......
I thought someone once said everything that happens here is not purely profit driven. Maybe I misunderstood.....

If this were true, what you surmise, then Publix would not have opened all of the other stores here. They are doing just fine with this business model and it is up to THEM where they open another store. Now that Sweetbay is building where they are, it is a taking a bit of the initiative away for them to build close by. They have smart minds figuring their profitablity.
Making a profit is how people do business If they do it WELL they make a lot of money and that makes them rich. Being rich is not a sin unless you harm people or do it illegally or deal drugs or run a cartel.
