Walmart, no. But we are getting a few Ikeas. And yes, we do have a few Hard Rock hotels/restaurant. Oh, and we just got our first Krispy Kreme. The locals are going nuts over this place and you can easily wait in line for 2+ hours to buy anything. Mega success.

I would be interested to see how Walmart would do here. We have a chain called Big-C that is the same concept, but a little smaller. Another called Lotus, which is as close to Walmart as I've seen. Very popular.

I'd blow half of boys town for a few Papa Johns though. Get a serious craving for their pizza sometimes and the nearest one I've found is in Shanghai, China. We waited over an hour to be seated there and it was totally worth it!
