I like that Price Cutter is smaller and therefore quicker. I also like that they have lots of different foods that you don't find other places. They are more expensive than Walmart, however. :(

Price cutter has specialty items that the big cookie cutter won't. The marketing driven name of Neighborhood will drive out the actual neighborhood market. Oh well.

Cost of goods will rule in the end. Price Cutter will not to be able to compete with the giant buying power Walmart has unforchanetly. Yes they will add some jobs but we will loose about the same number of jobs they add.
