He must be; around most Wal-Marts, there's an influx of boutique stores
and ancillary shops such as theaters, restaurants, etc.

Little comfort if you are a hardware store, a lumberyard, or another

Wal-Mart as a specialty store. All you have to do is provide something
that Wal-Mart cannot. That something is usually service or expertise.
There is a reason that the most expensive retail real estate in any given
town is next to a Wal-Mart.

I find it amazing that you need explained this to an adult.
