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. We have very much overlapping markets. However when it comes down to it my main concerns are how Walmart handles food items. Hell I'll admit to getting my car's oil changed at walmart, its cheap and convienet. Heck yeah wal;mart has cheap DVDs they loose money on them half the time, but they gain money off of all those little fat fingered kids that pickup a candybar and a notebook while thier there.
