I really hope it's Walmart and not TRU, since it will be both cheaper and easier to get down the road.

I was going to suggest we continue that discussion in another thread or PM's to avoid further derailing the topic, but if you're good, then so am I.

That said, I find myself hoping that Walmart will end up as the store that carries it, though I doubt it. Walmart would be cheaper than TRU.

With layaway, it's not so much popularity as it is profitability. Walmart stopped its year-round layaway program specifically because in the end they were losing money on the deal. Now the only time it potentially turns a profit is during the holiday season.

What I'm puzzled about is how K-Mart is able to continue offering layaway, in spite of what Walmart has done with it.

Probably because it wasn't posted in the News & Rumors thread it got missed? If you think you have news, post it there. We'll check it out and if it's not news, we'll move the thread to the appropriate forum. If it is news, then well FP it and give you credit in the news story.
