IS WAL-MART BUILDING THEIR SUPERCENTERS TOO CLOSE TOGETHER?


[+] ballot by Psycho_Frighead
ACTIVE Sun Mar 05, 06 - Fri Nov 28, 08

I've noticed, at least in Ohio, that there is a Wal-Mart Supercenter every 20 miles or so. And they're still building more Supercenters!

The only thing the Supercenters seem to have that the old Wal-Mart stores didn't is the grocery section. Personally, this looks to me like it is going to backfire hard, due to the following factors:

1) The Supercenters require more upkeep, more staff, and more money to maintain than a non-Supercenter

2) Wal-Mart is being incredibly dumb about where it puts Supercenters in some incredibly dumb places...I mean, what is so smart in building a Supercenter in Wauseon, Ohio (40 minutes from Toledo - and probably less than 10,000 people) when it would do much more business if they had built the Supercenter in Toledo instead (we only have the old Division I stores)

Yes, they are - and it will backfire on them!
No, they're not building Supercenters too close together.

COMMENTS:
I live in a town in which there are two 24 hour super walmarts
4 MILES APART!

And one of those has a Sam's Club next door!

It is like when I was in Seattle, and was in a shopping center with 4 starbucks locations!

Findlay, Ohio (40 miles south of me) is building its second Wal-Mart supercenter, and Findlay has less than 30,000 people.

By the way, the situation in Toledo has since changed. Both Wal-Mart stores in town are now Supercenters.
