Best Answer:
Costco, Target, Macy's; any of the very large stores that sell a product people need or are large & established enough to weather the storm.

I don't know -- a lot of those places rely on foreign products, and if the economy goes down the drain while the gas prices go up, shipping is going to be a problem. They may go down faster than a mom 'n' pop store that relies on local products.
