The group opposed to a planned Walmart store at Suburban Plaza north of Decatur will hold its final rally of the summer during rush hour Friday.

Good Growth DeKalb members will hold signs to show their opposition and also unfurl scrolls of petitions trying to keep the retailer away.

The rally runs from 5 p.m. to 6 p.m. at the intersection of Medlock and North Decatur roads and Scott Boulevard.
