Hope our Planned Wal Mart is next...

http://www.newsobserver.com/news/story/981064.html

Faced with a halting economy and a small but determined band of community opponents, Wal-Mart has shelved plans to build a 206,000-square-foot Supercenter in Knightdale, the town's mayor said today.

----------------

Already one in Zebulon. Already one in Clayton. Got one in Garner. Don't NEED or WANT one at 40-42

 

Word.

 

After approval by the Raleigh City council, Wal mart has also backed out on building a new one in SE Raleigh.

I've been telling you folks... I'LL BELIEVE IT WHEN THEY OPEN THE DOORS!

 

We can only hope that Wal Mart backs out cuz Jo Co residents and government did not stop them.

 

Make it a Target

 

I agree, Target anyday. Quality is alot better.

Now it seems like there is a Walmart on every corner.

 

I don't want either. Walmart is in Clayton, and Target is a few miles up at White Oak.

 

gosh, I was kinda excited so I wouldn't have to drive to Clayton or Fuquay....the idea has it's pros and cons......but I can live w/o it........

 

Agreed! Don't forget, there is already one in Fuquay too. And Cary, and Raleigh, and Smithfield. :neutral:

 

I do not have any statistics but I seam to notice that there are a lot more reports of crimes in a Wal-mart parking lot. Shootings, stabbing, robberies

 

yeah, and we certainly don't need anymore of those people around here, do we? *wink*wink* *nudge*nudge*

what exactly are you trying to say?

you said you were from florida....port st lucie, by any chance?

 

Hillsborough and Pasco County for 12 years....

 

Broward and Palm Beach counties

 

are you answering for you or for the person i asked?

i don't really care where in florida this person is from, i was making a vague allusion to psl's history of problems with racists. i thought the statement about walmart parking lots was a little odd, that's all...could be taken the wrong way, you know. remember how this place blew up when the mayor of selma used an off-color remark?

 

WalMart- I'll pass.

Ugh.

 

i dont think they can afford NOT to build since they already purchased the property (ive heard between 8-10 million c-notes!) who else can afford to sit on that much money?!

 

Walmart lol

 

Number one, who says they have purchased the property? Unless you have it from the horse's mouth (the Barefoots),I've seen no indication that they have. I've already had to explain Offers to Purchase and Options to Buy on another thread.

Number two, they DID purchase the property in SouthEast Raleigh (according to an article in the N&O) and are choosing not to build at this time.

What I'm saying is, even if they have purchased the property, which I don't think they have, Wal-Mart can certainly afford to hold it , and are doing so at another location.

 

#1 i am just asking a question! #2 AS I STATED, thats the info i HEARD!!! you know how stuff gets twisted if its wrong info, please correct me, but i know what i heard!

 

Depends on who you hear it from as to how much truth there is to it. You should always consider the source!
