Amish Wal-Mart Opens in Ohio

The Mahoning Valley is the site of one of the newest Wal-Mart locations, and probably the most unique so far: It's a unit geared to the region's large Amish community.

According to the online edition of the Tribune Chronicle, the retailer's parking lot will feature 84 spots to hitch horse-and-buggy transportation. The store's merchandise will naturally also be geared to the self-styled "plain people".

Store manager Paul Franz says the unit will feature such low-tech goods as 25-pound blocks of ice for ice boxes, canning supplies, denim and other sturdy solid-colored textiles that the Amish use to make their clothes.
