In this case, yes. Percentages doesn't make things tiny, it's the percentage of *what* that makes something tiny or huge.

Tony Cooper
What? The percentage that something is of the whole makes that something "tiny" or "huge"? You really want to go with this?

The population of Stockholm's metropolitan area is 2,163,042. That is 22% of the population of Sweden.

So, then I should deduce that Stockholm is a tiny city?

Some lament that Colonial does not discount accessory items or have sales other than factory-sponsored specials, but that's not a size issue.

Sandman
Naturally. But that's a shame.

Tony Cooper
No, it's a business decision.

I suspect that the owner, Don Rausch, would like to have a more modern physical facility in a more attractive neighborhood. (I've talked to Don several times, but not about this.)

Sandman
Then perhaps he could flesh out and make a bigger camera section where he can show the merchandise in a more selling manner.

Tony Cooper
The store has been in business for almost 60 years.

And you presume to tell them that they could operate in a more "selling manner"?

What do you know of the ROI in hobby products that tells you that increasing the space for cameras would provide a better return than using that space to sell RC models?

On the plus side, the building has adequate and convenient parking. That's a big plus in this town.

Sandman
Yeah, it had a fairly sized parking to the side, probably shared with other stores on the same street, but some were marked for Colonial's customers.

And this really isn't a store-heavy area either.

Tony Cooper
You are about as observant in this as you were in "the loop" when you thought Best Buy was a nationally known camera store.

The area is very store-heavy.

There are two Vietnamese grocery stores in the building to the north of Colonial. *Large* grocery stores.
