And from my own backyard
PLANO, Texas -- The new Wal-Mart Supercenter going up at West Plano Parkway and the Tollway in Plano is not like any store shoppers have seen before.
Wal-Mart did not want anyone to know what was happening inside the building until now because of competition in retail.
The whole store is a laboratory, and customers will tell Wal-Mart what works.
Some changes: the aisles are very wide and open and some even have cut-throughs so shoppers don't have to circle around the end.

There is a selection of fresh sushi, and a beer and wine selection one would expect to find at a liquor store with 1,200 different varieties available. A computer can tell shoppers which of the hundreds of wines go with which foods. And there are 500 items that are either all natural or organic.
"We think that's what our customer is looking for today... we hope it is. We've seen it in other stores. Organic products are doing very well. That's what we are hoping to find here, too," Wal-Mart spokeswoman Nikki Bayne said.
The home decor department features a wider selection of stylish accessories.
In electronics, there's an entire wall of the latest flat-screen TVs.
Even the greeting card aisles have been redesigned to feel more like a cozy bookstore.
"We always want to have what our customers are looking for, and I think customers are changing and looking for different things," Bayne said.
At a coffee shop at the entrance, customers can get a cappuccino or a latte, take it with them as they shop, or take a break in a big cozy chair and surf the Internet on the store's Wi-Fi system.
The restroom is definitely not like anything customers have seen at a Wal-Mart before: There are flowers in the ladies' restroom, plus there's a potty designed especially for children.
The men's room is nice, but pretty standard stuff: no flowers.

I have driven past this behemoth store and still say this. Yes its different, but if you've ever been to Plano, you know that rich fuckheads dont need more shit to stuff down their gullets and crap to put in their homes from people who make poverty level wages. Cant they just go out and buy that little boy from Mexico who cleans their pool a new hat?
