I guess that is part of the market here. We don't have much overlap. Target here doesn't carry food at all. There are a couple of grocery store only chains like Kroger and E.W. James Of course I just heard that E.W. James got bought by wal-mart.
Wal-Mart and Meijer are the only stores that seem to carry some of the same types of items across the board. But even then the two stores serve different markets and different groups of people. > -----Original Message----- > From: Adam Haskell [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Friday, January 13, 2006 12:19 PM > To: CF-Community > Subject: Re: [signs of sanity] MD no longer subsidizing Walmart > > You'd be absolutely floored to see how much we sell in general > merchandise. > Also Fred Myer serves the same market they have stores simular to walmarts > super centers.
