Is Target a supermarket? I know Wal-Mart and K-Mart both are, but I have never seen a Target supermarket. A couple of aisles of cereal, soft drinks, and crackers I don't think qualify it to be a supermarket. H2O 10:08, 21 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]

   Yes, there are some Target stores with a supermarket in them.

Major Vs. Smaller

I don't think we have very good distinction on the difference between major and 'smaller' supermarket chains. The two lists either need to be defined or combined. I found this list of the largest supermarket chains in the United States (2003): http://www.agmrc.org/markets/info/largestsupermarkets.pdf

How are we distinguishing between discount and non-discount stores? It's a fairly opinionated distinction.

If we are going to list the general area of the smaller chains, I think we should list the location of the smaller chains owned by a larger (i.e. Los Angeles based Ralphs is owned by Kroger). That could probably done by nested lists.

Kroger
- Fry's Supermarkets (Southwest)
- Ralphs (Los Angeles, California)

Why the hell are we leading with Retailers Cooperatives?

Just wondering. Is there any region of the country in which cooperatives actually are more prominent then any of the major chains? It seems to me it would be more logical to lead with the major chains and then all the various other types of supermarket chains. If no one defends this bit of idiocy then I'm fixing it in a few weeks. --Coolcaesar 07:16, 27 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
