Hi Jack,
I have a quick one for you.
What is the average transaction per customer visit for a Wal-Mart Supercenter?
If you can't get a supercenter then Wal Mart in total or domestically.
Try to exclude Sams if you can.
This is for my daughter's stat class and I can't find it.

Good to work with you again,
Regards,
Mike

Hi Mike,
  
Thanks for the question, and it's good to work with *you* again!
  
"Drug Store News" ( www.drugstorenews.com ), published 20 times a year
by Lebhar-Friedman, is a periodical featuring articles on drug stores,
drug wholesalers, combination food and drug stores, and stores with
pharmacies.
  
I found the information your daughter seeks in one of their
periodicals, dated 15th December 2003.
  
According to an article, Meijer's own consumer research showed that
Wal-Mart Supercenter shoppers spend an average of $61.88 per visit.
  
"Meijer's most loyal customers were surpassed marginally by Wal-Mart
Supercenter shoppers, who make approximately 43 trips a year and spend
an average of $61.88 per visit."

(last sentence, paragraph 8)

I also came across the same information in a more recent article on
the Detroit News website:
  
"According to trade publication Drug Store News, Meijer?s average
shoppers visit 40 times a year and spend $60.20 per visit. Wal-Mart
supercenter shoppers visit 43 times a year and spend $61.88 on each
trip on average."

I hope this information is useful.
  
Best regards,
