Walmart started as a small five and dime store, but recently their model has been to open gigantic Super Centers often taking up acres of land with their store and massive parking lots. They typically sit on the edge of towns in suburban areas and bill themselves as a one stop shopping option.
But there is a different trend afoot recently. Walmart is trying to build smaller stores. In Mexico and England Walmart is looking into smaller format convenience style stores, and here in the US Walmart just announced that it would build a smaller store on top of Loewe's store in Baltimore.
It is certainly an interesting move on Walmart's part and seems to be a tactic to start moving in to urban markets, one of the few areas Walmart is not ubiquitous. Of course even with smaller stores, Walmart's entry in to a city could mean a lowering of area wages, closing of grocery stores and other stores, and tax dollars bled from the city on subsidies and state supported programs like Medicaid and SCHIP.
So what do you think. Will Walmart's new smaller format stores catch on? Will they enable Walmart to get its foot in to cities?
