Retailing To-do: | edit | history | watch | purge Here are some tasks you can do: Copyedit: Target Corporation, Wal-Mart - to be used as an examples for ideal page structure Cleanup: T.J. Maxx reads like advert; see talk page discussion 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] The type of article I love to find on Wiki

As a kid in the 50's I often visited there with my father, a typical frugal Yankee. He said it was the best store in the area for what(ever) he needed, and had been going there for years. He apparently knew Spag, because I remember him saying 'You have a look around, I'm going to see Spag.' Part of that was because Spag did know where everything was, or could find it. It was not well designed for locating things as space was used for storage as well as display. It had very high, old-style shelves, floor to ceiling shelves. By the late 50's I wanted to go there, since it was the best (value for cost) place to go. At that time, I was particularly interested in fishing and still have several rods and reels bought there. 'Cheap' at that time tended to mean more 'value' rather than the more modern inference to 'quality'. CasualObserver'48 (talk) 09:55, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
