Montrose1100 Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Check out the new Urban Walmart. http://washingtondc.walmartcommunity.com/walmart-announces-new-stores-at-skyland-fort-totten-square/ I doubt the people working there could afford to live in the apartments above. Which is a shame. Even if Houston had a Walmart going up like this I would still not shop there. Just thought it looked cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arche_757 Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Interesting. That's a Wal Mart and not a Supercenter right? If so this may be Wal Mart's next move into urban areas. Goodness knows they have the money to do this - all over! Of course where in Houston would one really expect to find this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great idea in concept, but generally ends up pricing out the middle and lower class. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronTiger Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 I wonder why one rendering says "Coffee Shop" and one says "Starbucks"? Which rendering came first? Having a Starbucks in a Walmart is surprising but hardly unique (others: Target, Meijer, anything owned by Safeway, Albertsons, the late Great Indoors) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
