Start up a family run store for people pissed off at Walmart.

A fool and his money are soon popular.

[TELECOM Digest Editor's Note: We have a lot of family owned
businesses downtown here, and at one point we had **four** major
grocery chains here (Safeway, Country Mart, Food Town and Dillons.)
Walmart managed to do them all in. The last one to go was County
Mart, at 10th and Myrtle; then that property stood vacant (a huge
store) for several months. Then even the Walmart haters had to go
to Walmart to get their groceries. About a year and a half ago,
a chain called Marvins out of Oklahoma took over the old Country
Mart store, and they are hanging in there. PAT]
