They've been doing this for a lot of years in some bigger cities.
I always liked it. Could get the kids into a children's care center (this was before we had all these kidnappings. I wouldn't trust the care centers these days.) I could shop for groceries, and new curtains and housewares. At the same time, my husband could shop for tools or fishing gear, or get the tires of the car rotated and the oil changed.
Why spend the whole day, and all that expensive gasoline going to store after store when one stop would do it ? Then, we could stop in the lunch counter for coffee and rest, too.
Mostly, the Mom and Pop stores are already gone. That's the way things evolve.

When a large store is opened that sells everything, this is done for two reasons. One like you said is convenience. The other is that whena store sells everything, they can work out deals with suppliers to get the goods for a lower cost, which allows them to sell to the customer cheaper, which brings them more customers and profits. If a store sells only tires, then the tire supplier is not going to give them a big discount, but if the store sells everything the supplier makes the supplier is more willing to give a lower cost.

They want all the market share. They think that by making it convenient to buy everything in one stop they can get a bigger piece of the pie.
Personally I think it sucks...I won't even shop at Wal-mart because the lines are so long and I have to work with their corporate people in my job. They suck. Bad attitudes!

I think it boils down to operating costs for the companies involved.They go down. I also believe they offer the consumer longer opening times and cheaper prices.I think it means the employees have less of a social life and the businesses themselves do not benefit, as most consumers then shift their shopping habits...It's not great news for the independents either.
