One of the things not widely known are the "tax break" deals cut by the
biggies before they agree to open a store.

At a minimum, no local taxes as well as they keep all the sales taxes
collected for at least one year.

I have heard of local governments working tax advantage deals with a company
but I would be shocked if the store gets to keep the states portion of the
sales tax collected. Oddly a Sam's Club moved 1 block about 4 years ago.
Its new location is on 2 separate city lines. These two cities share the
sales tax collected at the store.
