All is not acrimony between WalMart and every town and city across our land.

Does this signify a change in WalMart's strategy, does their need to broaden their market appeal change their retailing approach away from stark big boxes?

Read below, this is interesting!

Atlanta is getting a very different kind of Wal-Mart in one of its up-and-coming neighborhoods. As the Atlanta Journal-Constitution described it recently, this Wal-Mart will be, well, kind of hip, with hardwood floors, a gourmet cheese case, a gigantic wine section, even a sushi bar. No gun sales, no oil-dripping automotive department, none of that tackiness. So how did Wal-Mart get so savvy about in-town tastes? It didn't, an Atlanta neighborhood group said. We taught it how to build an urban store.

Some of this is being done I'm sure but those of us that live 50 miles or more from the nearest Wal-Mart can shop on-line have the item sent to the nearest store and then delivered to our residence for a five dollar fee. I know the profit margin would not be "good" but I do think Wal-Mart would gain a point in the market share and improve on their "service" as well as "lower prices". Could also help the image factor.
