That was exactly their business model.
Like Wal-Mart, they targeted smaller urban centers that were beneath the notice of the mall chains (in the 60's, when they started) and the warehouses in the 90's.
Problem is, what worked in the 60's doesn't work today and their core territory is, ahem, prime Amazon country. And Amazon doesn't offer up limited choices.
