In Big Flats, NY, Walmart has a store, and a Sam's Club... Now they're
opening up a supercenter less than a mile away. Whats the logic of
that, other than to saturate the area and drive everyone else out?


Has Wal Mart announced that they are replacing the existing store with the
Supercenter? That has become fairly commonplace for WalMart, as the
popularity of their Supercenters has proven itself. What would it really
matter if Wal Mart or any other store opened new stores 100 feet from each
other? If people are going to them, it is proof of consumer acceptance of
those stores. Remember - Wal Mart cannot force consumers to come into their
stores...


Their modus operandi is to have their own stores compete against each
other.


This is in an area with a lot of malls already... looks like they want
a fight


How does that look like "they want a fight"?

with their own store, as well as all the other stores nearby (lowes,
sears, circuit city, target, bonton, etc
