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] Emporium Capwell - The Times They Are A Changin'

I am an Australian who lived in San Jose in the very early Eighties and have long since returned home to the Land Down-under - but I then worked for The Emporium as it was then known and can't believe what's happened. What a shame! Another Bay Area icon bites the big one. I enjoyed working there very much as a young man and have fond memories of several of the stores I was assigned to in the Bay Area. My last visit to my old stomping ground was in 1993 on a visit to the Almaden store I had worked at and can only say how shocked I was at reading the more recent article in Wikipedia. What a wonderful forum!!!
