I forgot a couple big box stores that could have been included in the comps:

Costco (COST) - 5 yr grwth 44.96% - Div 1.18% - T/R 5yr 52.1%


Wal Mart (WMT) - 5 yr grwth 29% - Div 2.4% - T/R 5 yr 40.7%


I think - after looking at these numbers -- COSTCO would be the one I'd pick as Best of Breed... but that 1.18% dividend is pretty sad - but it is countered by a pretty decent growth rate.
