You want a sure bet for sorely needed downtown grocers for Tucson, Phoenix, and maybe Tempe and Mesa?

Walmart's Neighborhood Market concept, which is floundering in the suburbs to established competitors like Safeway and Fry's, could find an evil home in areas like this that are waiting for that so called "critical mass." They are the only company capable of running a grocery store in the red for however long it takes, cutting prices enough until they dominate the area.

The low price thing would attract the established, low income residents. Sheer convenience attracts the higher end condo junkies.

Just don't tell them this.
