WalMart is going to add different restaurants to new stores

View of a WalMart from the parking lot.Though the WalMart phenomenon seems to have slowed down, at least as far as I can tell, they are still building new stores. Up til now, if the store was big enough to warrant an eatery, the space was given to McDonald's or Subway.

That's going to change as of this year, at least in some areas of the country. Now some new stores will be getting a tex mex place called Taco Maker, while others will get a Guatemalan chain called Pollo Campero. I guess it's better late than never that WalMart starts catering to the tastes of one of its largest customer bases.

What do you think? What kind of eatery would you like to see in the new WalMart near you?

When I'm in LA I often end up there, too.

Although there are at least 3 Pollo Campero outlets if not 4 or 5 that I could easily drive to (love living in Montgomery County MD), it would be nice to see Pollo Campero in Wal*Mart instead of McDonalds (which I only go to when I'm sick and get odd cravings for Mickey Dee's cheeseburgers...)
