$1.6 to $1.7 billion dollars in remodeling and renovation.
...wonder how much of that will go to union electricians?
According to the Grand Forks Herald:
The recession steered a new type of customer to Wal-Mart — deeper in the pockets and suddenly looking for bargains. Now, the world’s largest retailer has to figure out how to keep that customer when the economy recovers.
So, Wal-Mart is bringing in more brand names, ditching scores of other products and even redesigning hundreds of stores to give them wider aisles, better lighting and better sight lines.
It’s more than just a cosmetic upgrade. That new breed of customer also spends about 40 percent more than the traditional Wal-Mart shopper, and the retailer senses an opportunity to accelerate its growth
Cater to the customers who spend more? Sounds like good business practices to me! But, with the dreaded, "evil" Wal-Mart spending $1.6 to $1.7 billion dollars in remodeling and renovation,
some of that to union electricians, I wonder how many liberal, upscale yuppie and union heads will 'splode as they take Wal-Mart's money and utilize Wal-Mart to save more of their own?
As a bonus: How many of you would pay money to watch our liberal union friend Buzz* take Wal-Mart's money on a pricey remodel near him? Heh.
