The importance of having tenants in the shopping center that would draw the types of customers Lessee considered necessary for its business is also highlighted by the fact that the Inducement provision was included in the Lease. According to the testimony, Lessee insisted that such a provision be included and that it specifically refer to Consumers and Wal-Mart as the major anchor tenants. In fact, Lessor's leasing agent agreed that the parties intended the major anchor tenants to be Wal-Mart and Consumers, and no others. It is clear from the record that the reason for this requirement was to provide the type of customer traffic in the shopping center necessary for Lessee's type of store.
