The Discount City

As if the proposed Wal-Mart store in Simi Valley is not enough, now Costco wants to build a store. And is it really necessary to have a second K mart?

We currently have a number of discount chain stores: K mart, Ross, T.J. Maxx . . . What’s next, Marshall’s, Fedco and the Price Club? It is unfortunate Gemco, Zody’s and White Front went out of business, Simi Valley could have made headlines as the world’s largest discount city.

Bullocks where are you?
