Retail has gone crazy widening the seasons. Last year, Lowes was putting out Xmas decorations before Halloween day .
Walmart (2 local area store) hadn't even finished putting OUT Halloween decorations before what they had, sold out (shelf space empty).
The problem with Corporate Control, is it ignores the local pulse (tastes, heritage). When Local store puts the stocked choices into local hands, we get stuff WE need or fits the local culture better.
