We have Wal-Mart here too.. since they bought the UK superstore chain Asda.. larger Asda stores are being branded Wal-Mart


they aren't the biggest here they're in third place.. Tesco is the biggest, Sainsbury is second,  and Morrisons now they've gobbled up Safeway is in Fourth

well with our anti-monopoly laws that'll be difficult..

for example..

Tesco has already reached the maximum number of stores it is allowed.

So cleverly what they've done is buy into other markets like the local convenience store field..
so now we have "tesco metro" stores which are basically local versions of the big stores

the days of independent local traders is gone since these chains can afford to buy shit in cheaper.

we have anti-monopoly laws here too. As long as K-Mart is barely in business and Target is going strong, Wal-Mart is not a monopoly.
