Rex Stores: Low-Risk, Pure Play on Ethanol

They had a store in town some years back. Pretty nice store, competitive prices, and good stuff, mostly TVs and TV type furniture. Hard to fight Wal Mart and Sears I think.

Five years came and went, they closed down, and now that location is a dollar store.
