But not true. Only your speculation at this point. Wal-Mart is hardly a monopoly.

Last I checked the following stores were in business:

Target
K-mart
Sears
Kohls
Ace Hardware
The Sav-On chain
Walgreens
Plenty others.

Someone has to be number one. They get there because they OUT-MARKET and OUT-SELL their competitors by executing stratagies.

You should be glad there's a Wal-Mart, Don. Your meager income may stretch a little further if you spent your money more wisely.
