Why did they need to make a store? Seems like there was no need for it...

Why does anyone need to make a store? Walmart and Target both exist. Generally, consumer choice and industry competition are considered good things that drive innovation and the nicer experiences we're talking about.

Interestingly both Walmart and Target opened in 1962. There were other stores by then, so I guess there was no need.

Maybe they saw the 30% cut Apple and Google were taking on their app stores and wanted in on the action?
