Interesting to note that HEB has 60% of the grocery market share in Austin, 63% in San Antonio, and 100% in South Texas. That must mean Walmart has less than 20% market share in Austin since we also have Randalls, Whole Foods, Sprouts, Newflower, Sun Harvest, Wheatsville, Natural Grocers, Not wanting to lose face in North Texas, Walmart flooded Dallas/Ft Worth with 125 superstores. 125? Yikes. I think Austin has maybe 10 Walmarts. That just goes to show you how Evil Walmart really is - they can afford to throw billions of dollars around just out of spite. Those *******s. That injected water is raking in the bucks. It sure is nice to see Walmart scrambling for domination in the face of such a lowly little privately-held company. -sw |
