I should think it is. Retailers think about the return per square foot, and if something like a photo lab isn't bringing in the money then they put something there that will, pretty damn quick. Like bananas. The only things in a supermarket that are allowed to lose money are the goods that will make people go elsewhere if you don't stock them. Like baked beans. Bob
