The economy is not too bad - the government spending beyond their means is the problem. Consumers are ok.

I'd try the pizza as I'm using the facilities and grabbing a beverage. It's a what-the-heck equation. I might not be a steady customer, but, when I'm on the road, it remains a possibility.<br><br>-- Mike Wed, 11 Nov 2009 14:17:49 GMT http://industry.bnet.com/retail/10004941/pizza-and-cupcakes-keep-em-coming-to-7-eleven-as-cigarette-business-slides/#18551_90174 2009-11-11T14:17:49Z http://industry.bnet.com/retail/10004941/pizza-and-cupcakes-keep-em-coming-to-7-eleven-as-cigarette-business-slides/#18551_89787 I've always been impressed with 7-Eleven's marketing and ability to roll with the punches. Not sure I'd buy a pizza there but they have good coffee and better fresh food options for people on the go.

Walmart will keep battling Amazon over books, but the promotions will keep changing and that would undermine any real argument about corner the market on books. They'll concentrated on certain classes of books and move on. Avoidance might be the best strategy for the booksellers.<br><br>-- Mike Wed, 04 Nov 2009 02:05:09 GMT http://industry.bnet.com/retail/10004613/business-as-usually-agressive-spurs-justice-department-call-on-walmart-target-amazon/#18209_88811 2009-11-04T02:05:09Z http://industry.bnet.com/retail/10004613/business-as-usually-agressive-spurs-justice-department-call-on-walmart-target-amazon/#18209_88107 i think it will be very difficult for the government to enforce book pricing, consumer as the right not to buy the low price books.<br>www.1wallmart.com Fri, 30 Oct 2009 17:46:17 GMT http://industry.bnet.com/retail/10004613/business-as-usually-agressive-spurs-justice-department-call-on-walmart-target-amazon/#18209_88107 2009-10-30T17:46:17Z http://industry.bnet.com/retail/10004588/toysrus-american-eagle-and-others-bet-on-pop-up-stores/#18185_87950 Ian -- if interested in this topic, just read an in-depth analysis looks at whether pop-up shops is a fad or a long-term retail trend. here's the link: <a href="http://analytics.pbbiblogs.com/2009/10/22/pop-up-shops-retail-timeshares/" target="_blank">http://analytics.pbbiblogs.com/2009/10/22/pop-up-shops-retail-timeshares/</a> Thu, 29 Oct 2009 21:37:34 GMT http://industry.bnet.com/retail/10004588/toysrus-american-eagle-and-others-bet-on-pop-up-stores/#18185_87950 2009-10-29T21:37:34Z http://industry.bnet.com/retail/1000692/meijer-presses-green-initiatives/#18130_87711 Thanks for the great reading, we buy <a href="http://www.goldcoinsgain.com/gold-bullion-coins.html">gold</a> bullion in a recession.

The way Tractor Supply treats its customers says more than charts and graphs. Get on the web and read the comments of people disgusted by this company. If this is how the company treats the people it relies on for its profit, I can imagine what the corporate culture might be. Word travels fast on the digital highway. Tractor Supply may well want to clean up its sidewalk on Main Street before peddling its fertilizer to the investment community.

I'm getting great reception because Straight Talk is running on Verizon's network nationwide so I don't have to worry about paying extra for roaming or long distance. Wal-mart is looking good, I will definitely start shopping there more.
