Walmarts are huge sprawling stores with huge sprawling parking lots.
They are fed by long lines of huge sprawling semi trucks.
I'm not expert on NYC, but I just can't visualize this in Manhattan, or anywhere near it.
Jon, are there locations where there is room for Walmarts in NYC?
Also, there's the car thing.
Many in NYC do not own a car and it's not because they can't afford them.
They buy their groceries a little bit at a time at little mom and pop grocers on their walk from the subway to their home.
Walmart cannot fit into that model.
Walmart's monster stores depend on customers having cars.
