Retailing To-do: | edit | history | watch | purge  Here are some tasks you can do: Requests: WikiProject Retailing userbox Copyedit: Target Corporation, Wal-Mart - to be used as an examples for ideal page structure Cleanup: Listings of store locations Expand: Store manager, List of articles on project page, image gallery on project page, Hypermarket (history section), Category killer - This is very US/Canada centric - Ikea exists elsewhere, too. Stubs: Wal-Mart Neighborhood Market, Archer Farms, ClearRx Other: Department store - discriminate between itself and Discount store. Category killer - If a Category Killer dominates its area, why are there many stores listed per category? There should be clear criteria for when a store is included, otherwise this just becomes an advertising page.

[edit] Metropolitan statistical areas

Is it necessary to break the former store locations down by combined metropolitan areas, metropolitan statistical areas and divisions? I think it would be simpler just to list the stores by state and city. --Metropolitan90 16:00, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

How about a table similar to Dayton's? I know I'll get criticized here because many articles about defunct retail chains do this in list format; however it's readability that I'm concerned about which is why I believe a table format would be better. Tuxide 04:08, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
