COMPARE - CONTRAST WAL-MART vs TOM THUMB

WAL-MART MILK BREAD ICE CREAM TIRES SHOES

TOM-THUMB MILK BREAD ICE CREAM

ANALYZING VS. LISTING

Listing:

Wal-Mart sells milk, bread, ice cream, shoes, and tires. Tom Thumb sells milk, bread, and ice cream.

Analyzing:

Wal-Mart and Tom Thumb sell many of the same products, such as milk, bread, and ice cream. However, because Wal-Mart can afford a larger variety of vendors and more floor space, it can also offer shoes and tires. This larger variety of products has attracted more customers and made Wal-Mart the leader in American retail sales.
