I think local people in general hates walmart, that's why none in Vancouver...They were talking about having one on Marine Dr and close to Main for long time but got banned.
But for consumer...I don't see why not...I always welcome lower price and competition.
Won't be too bad for superstore because walmart sells less grocery...作者: 快樂牛郎 時間: 2011-3-28 13:31
I think grocery shopping should be fun and enjoyable.
And the environment inside wal-mart...frankly...is quite disgusting作者: fibbi 時間: 2011-3-28 13:34
Really? the walmart I went to (exit 202, 206, bellingham) is not that bad.
Superstore can be messy though, especially the veggie section...

I think it's the daunting space that's inside the super center that's off putting. Like if you walk into a choice market, you can feel that you are just doing grocery shopping. But when you go to wal-mart, it's like walking into a maze.
and regarding prices, you also have to consider what you are buying. You can say they have cheaper prices if you buy things like bananas which pretty much come from the same place. but for some specialty products, you need to pay attention to the ingredients and where they are made作者: tsumorichisato 時間: 2011-3-28 14:06

It's NORTH of Alderbridge way. Not South. So it's across Gardencity from the car wash place.
Traffic on Gardencity is already REALLY bad, so unless they figure out how they can properly route the traffic in that area, they can't put a big box store there.作者: 布小熊 時間: 2011-3-28 15:33
They don't even need to rezone... oh no...
Townsend noted that the preliminary fill work doesn’t require rezoning.
I guess it's a bit difference here. I usually go to Chinese supermarket for grocery. Only will go to local supermarket for milk/butter/cheese etc.
So I don't find Walmart that bad for those products.
