Dear Editor: To comment on what other retailers will be affected
by a Super Wal-Mart, I would like to ask Mr. Willmert [letter] how much he
looks at the stores within a Super Wal-Mart.
We have Picture This and Images By Coop, two very upstanding and
vital businesses in Lincoln and yes, mom and pop -- well, Picture
This is just pop. Anyway, Super Wal-Marts have a shop for family
photography to be taken there.
We also have in this great city Nobbe Eye Care, Advanced Eye
Care, Prairie Eye Center, Bard Optical and Drake Eyecare Center that
bring in sales tax and revenue. Again, Super Wal-Marts have eye care
centers in them.
We have two Cingular Wireless stores, three Verizon Wireless
stores. Yes, Super Wal-Mart sells cellular phones too. In fact their
prices are over half the price of the actual retailers.

column in this letter]

 We have Thorntons, Apollo Mart, Fifth Street Food Mart, Casey's,
Kickapoo Mart and Qik-n-EZ. You guessed it -- Super Wal-Mart will
have gas.
We have Medicap Pharmacy, Walgreens, Krogers and CVS. Wal-Mart
has a pharmacy too.
I'm sure I am leaving out several other businesses that a Super
Wal-Mart will affect, and I apologize for that.
So there is your answer. I hope I was helpful.
