Re: Walmart Internal E-mails
Folks have been worried about a Wal Mart monopoly, but at least here I am noticing a trend. I live 7 miles from Wal mart, but recently Dollar General opened a store 1 1/2 miles from me. The prices are pretty comparable and although they dont carry the amount of stock that Wally world does, they have started getting probably 20-25% of the business from us that we used to give to wal mart.
DG is targeting areas that are just far enough from Wal Mart to make it convenient for folks not to drive to WM but instead buy what they can at DG. About 7 miles the OTHER side of WM, DG is building another store....essentially bracketing WM with options for the local folk who dont want to drive all the way to WM, and then walk for a mile through the superstore to find a few items. I think it is a positive thing.
