So your kroger doesn;t sell Christmas lights during winter or Holloween costumes during September October? I bet they do. They also probably have a Symphonic TV and a cyberhome DVD player. They probably also carry atleast 2 or 3 grills during the spring and summer as well. These are all overlaps. Don;t forget the big boy's either pharmacy and fuel. These 2 things a cash cows man huge overlap wioth LOTS, i mean LOTS, of importance. I understand a lot of people may never consider purchasing a lightbulb from a Kroger, however plenty of others do and thats direct competition with walmart. Target is carrying food here but thats something relatively new and I'm guessing you'll see it soon in a target near you.
