 97-9025a -- American stores Co. And Subsidiaries v. Commissioner of Internal Revenue - - 03/09/1999
American filed a petition in the Tax Court seeking a redetermination of the proposed deficiencies, and the case was submitted on facts which were fully stipulated by the parties.
American argues that the grace-period payments at issue are "on account of" its 1988 fiscal taxable year by the mere fact that they were claimed on its tax return for that year, and that therefore these payments are deemed to have been made on January 30, 1988.
As American correctly notes, however, "the rules for the time a contribution is made for purposes of the minimum funding requirement of section 412 'are independent from' the rules relating to the time a contribution is deemed made for purpose[s] [of] claiming a deduction under section 404(a)(6)," effectively refuting the Commissioner's argument to the contrary.

 Leading the charge into home health care - American Stores Co Drug Store News - Find Articles
American Stores' definition of the home healthcare business extends far beyond the durable medical equipment, incontinence and wound care products that many independent and chain drug stores, and some mass merchants, will carry.

Since we're not on the radar of Walgreens or CVS at the current time in the Bricktown/downtown area, I think a convenience store only 7-11 would be a nice addition, especially with the hotels going up in the area.
Convenience stores aren't really anything to be excited about, but AMPM is a much nicer chain than 7-11.
