Wal-Mart Stonewall
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Wal-Mart SuperCenter in the District at Howell Mill
Atlanta residents were excited last fall when Wal-Mart planned its “urban” store location on Howell Mill Road. They were happy to get a Wal-Mart with decent décor and a better mix of merchandise that includes gourmet cheese and an expanded wine section.
But the prospect of a great big Wal-Mart SuperCenter on Peachtree Industrial Boulevard, between Chattahoochee Drive and Sugarloaf Parkway, has residents of Duluth up in arms.
One resident suggested Wal-Mart go to Norcross instead. Tomorrow there’s a meeting with Wal-Mart execs to “discuss.”
What’s your vote on Wal-Mart? Is it worth enduring the big, bulky buildings to get cheap goods?
