Default Is Walmart in Trouble?

This is a fascinating statistic: "More than half of all Americans live within a ten-minute drive of one of its stores. Each year 93% of American households shop at Wal-Mart at least once."

Wal-Mart | The bulldozer of Bentonville slows | Economist.com

We've all heard that WalMart is the target of a class-action lawsuit representing some 2 million women, who claim they were denied promotion, and systematically underpaid compared to male employees with the same jobs. And the company's massive database bears this out. The super-store is likely to loose, and be ordered to pay out hundreds of millions of dollars, but with a budget of $18 billion for building new stores this year, any award in the lawsuit won't make a dent in their bottom line.

It seems like not having any room left to grow is a bigger problem for WalMart, at least from reading this article.

I really don't like wal-mart that much, but they are just so convenient and cheap, they basically force you to go....

You're meaning to say you'd rather shop somewhere expensive? Wal-Mart equals ownage, so anyone who hates it is jealous.

Dont hate it cuz you aint it!

Haha. I just said I shop there, but I just don't like the fact that someone made the shorts that I'm wearing right now (from wal-mart) for $.2.

I prefer Target over wal-mart. They are cleaner, nicer, and just plain better.
