Comments on: Walmart Only Opening 1 out 6 Planned Stores in DC in 2013 http://www.popville.com/2012/04/walmart-only-open-1-out-6-planned-stores-in-dc-in-2013/ Welcome to the beautiful life Wed, 22 May 2013 22:26:51 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 By: Walmart Advocate http://www.popville.com/2012/04/walmart-only-open-1-out-6-planned-stores-in-dc-in-2013/#comment-471725 Walmart Advocate Tue, 01 May 2012 21:57:51 +0000 http://www.princeofpetworth.com/?p=61420#comment-471725 ITS VERY OBVIOUS THAT WALMART HATERS HAVE NOT DONE THEIR HOMEWORK. NEW YORK HAS CLOSE TO 30-50 WALMARTS AND WHAT MAKES PEOPLE THINK THAT WALMART DON’T HAVE MONIES TO COME TO WASHINGTON DC. WALMART HAS BEEN AROUND IN ARKANSAS SINCE 1982. IF YOU HAVE MONIES YOU CAN BUILD WHEREVER YOU CHOOSE TOO. GET A LIFE AND GET OVER IT..WALMART WILL A FUTURE. THERE’S TOO MANY WALMARTS FOR ANYONE TO TRY TO STOP WHERE THEY WANT TO BUILD. FACT NOT AN OPINION. WELCOME YOUR WALMART STORE. IF YOU DON’T LIKE IT THEN YOU DON’T HAVE TO SHOP THERE. BUT TRUST AND BELIEVE THAT THEY WILL GET PLENTY OF BUSINESS ESPECIALLY BEING ON THE 70 79 BUS LINE. WELCOME WALMART.. :-)

That intersection can be a pain in neck, not to mention dangerous. Nightmarish to think what plopping a Walmart on the corner will do to traffic and surrounding businesses.

I will shop at Walmart just like I shop at Aldi because even though I make plenty of money, my money is not unlimited so if I save money on toothpaste and whatnot, that is more that I can spend on things that really matter to me.

Walmart may not be the best corporate citizen, but I would rather have them than the corner stores that sell stolen electronics.

My question is who do you think shops at Walmart?
