WalMart doesn't want anything to do with the restaurant business, banking, optometry, etc......and none of those businesses compete with what WalMart has to sell.....the craft department at WalMart would be in direct competition with anyone selling craft items.[/QUOTE]
Actually, WalMart has some kind of deal with American Express to get around the fact that they CAN'T get into the banking business for whatever reason. I also noticed during Christmas that the only kind of gift cards they sold were for restaurants, not competing businesses such as Best Buy. I think it would be cool to see a JoAnn's Corner at Walmart, if that's the vision. They already have contracted nail salons, mc'ds, vision, used to have appliances - what's onemore?
