I, ans I suspect most of the people here, are not the target demographic.

i was sitting on a plane a few months ago, and the guy would help small companies navigate selling to Target and Costco. Those are the same demographics! I belong to Costco, and sometimes we do shop at Target.

I would say that Walmart and Samsclub are the same demographic, but I belong to Sams, but I don't shop at Walmart, or not very often. Usually it is ammo, plastic box/crates/containers, and occasional misc. stuff. If I lived in a small town, I would welcome one, since they supply so much.

Your Sam's Club sells ammo?! Damn it! I don't need 5 gallons of Miracle Whip, but I would love to buy ammo in bulk.

So it seems like a smart idea for Walmart to cater to the people that shop in their stores.
I bet this Hispanic-based Walmart will NOT be selling Quanell X's favorite comic book

That would pretty much be the greatest thing ever.

Wal-Mart is by far the cheapest place for target ammo. Their boxes of .45 Blazer CCH are almost $5 cheaper than anywhere else.
