On a side note, Magoffin County has 4 Dollar Stores. Two Dollar General and two Family Dollar. I would think that the Louisa WalMart is one of those that you are talking about. It says supercenter, but it is very small.

Yeah you're right, they do. However Family Dollar is nowhere even in the same ballpark as having the market presence as Dollar General. In it's perspective category, Family Dollar vs. Dollar General is the equivalent to KMart vs. WalMart. There is that much difference between the two chains.


Concerning the Louisa SuperCenter, yes you are right, it is considerabley smaller than the other local WalMart SuperCenters, but it is still classified as a SuperCenter. The new Neighborhood Markets are even smaller than the Louisa SuperCenter.


I dont know what the square footage is of the Louisa store is I guessing somwhere in the 100-120,000 square foot range, but the typical SuperCenter is about 175,000 square feet, while the Neighborhood Market runs about 40,000 square feet. Also I want to note that WalMart is even now experimenting with an even smaller WalMart Express store which has only 15,000 square feet of selling space.
