Snayke, what I'm looking for is the upper middle class, young, hip, on-the-go professional person's wal mart.

If I had any inkling of how to make this happen, I think I could make a killing with a superstore with gourmet food, trendy housewares, some furniture, an electronic department with an apple store and cool clothes.

I'd call it iUrban Ikea Joe's.

I'd like to find some food for a nice tasty dinner, some cool shoes, a knife sharpener, some cool clothes and some home decor.

Why can't I get all of this stuff in one awesome location? I love the process of shopping and getting new things, but I hate malls and I hate driving to multiple stores. I'd like to get home before 8, but if I hit all these places, that's how long I'll be out.

This is a lame rant, but it'd be really cool if someone came out with a legit one-stop shopping department store with actually cool things in it. Something like an Urban Outfitters meets Trader Joe's meets REI or something.

I'd call it pretty close to Target.

Which white people love, of course.

Out of the things he listed you could only find a knife sharpener and maybe some cool home decor there. No way will you find some cool shoes, clothes, or decent food there.

I haven't really shopped for shoes there, but they have some decent clothes there. Certainly stuff that's up to par with Urban Outfitters.

They also have pretty good food in their grocery department.

Basically my point was, if you're looking for a "upper middle class, young, hip, on-the-go professional person's Wal-Mart", that's Target.

I just received a $20 gift card to Target. I don't have anything of value to add to the discussion.

If you just go to Chesterfield Valley, you will find everything you could possibly want all within a like 1 mile strip of stores. Well there's no porn stores but just about everything else.
