[QUOTE="Constant Mesh, post: 577518, member: 615"] Local sales outlets can successfully compete with WalMart but not in generic commodity type products where the customer doesn't need on-site assistance. The local vendor has to offer value not available at WalMart. The local vendors have to specialize away from commodities into more unique and specialized products where the customer sees additional value. WalMart is superb at delivering commodities at low prices. But they've not performed nearly as well when they've tried to expand their product line beyond commodities. The replacement tire business would seem to be a home run for WalMart. Yet local tire vendors often thrive next door to WalMarts. But tires aren't toothpaste or groceries. WalMart is a juggernaut but it's not unbeatable. [/QUOTE]
