True true, but xtramart showing around 140 store locations I believe which is a nice addition.

Julia,

Yes I understand that Walmart is everywhere. But there are a heck of a lot more "Xtramart" type convenience stores in this country than there are Walmart stores. And Walmart isn't the ideal customer if you are a vendor. They dictate the rules.

Spongetech has more leverage (not really the right word), with a smaller chain and potentially much higher per unit profit potential as well. Going with number one doesn't necessarily equate to making the most profits. Bottom line is bottom line. Plus there is a lot more inherent stability with having 20 customers account for $100MM in sales than having one customer account for $100MM in sales.
