I have to agree with Ratbastid that Walmart will win out on this one. As for Walmart competing with Target, as I understand it, Walmart deliberately placed their stores outside of urban areas, therefore making them accessible to people who didn't live directly in a big city, and making it their only viable option. There was a great article in Playboy a few months ago about the Walmart empire....they really do rule the world.
