And the fact that they don't have that presence is a good thing I think consumers may be more willing to try something new. Walmart has a stigma attached to it. Target not so much. But if you never heard of Meijer and they suddenly opened a small grocery store on your block, you may opt to shop there as opposed to Walgreens or CVS [[which now have produce sections in larger cities)....reiterating the fact that the door has closed for markets they could have expanded into.
