Arboretum Office Park is an office park located at the southeast quadrant of Pineville-Matthews Road and Providence Road in the city of Charlotte in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina.
Arboretum Office Park may be rezoned from office-only to mixed use to include a 49,000-square-foot grocery store. Supermarket Publix is in speculation to be the proposed grocer.
I mentioned this development about a week ago in the Grocery thread, as first reported by WSOC-TV. Apparently this proposed new Publix will be across the street from the Harris Teeter in the main Arboretum Shopping Center on Pineville-Matthews Rd. (Hwy. 51). Supposedly Harris Teeter has a contract preventing another supermarket in the same Arboretum development, so Publix has chosen the office park nearby, subject to rezoning.
Since entering the Charlotte market, Publix is choosing to locate near a pre-existing Harris Teeter location, as apparently they are competing for a similar customer demographic.
The presence of supermarket Harris Teeter #30, Arboretum, 3333 Pineville-Matthews Road, Charlotte, North Carolina 28226-9304, is why discount department store Walmart Discount Store #1452, Arboretum, 3209 Pineville-Matthews Road, Charlotte, North Carolina 28226-9301, is not a Walmart Supercenter hypermarket.

Also, the homeowners at Raintree had a fit when Walmart toyed with expanding the store there.
Did that contribute to the decision for Walmart to open supermarket Walmart Neighborhood Market #4848, McMullen Creek Market, 8322 Pineville Matthews Road, Charlotte, North Carolina 28226-4707?

It may have, but that was twenty years ago when the Arboretum was expanding. The McMullen Creek store was a chance for Walmart to get in over there. A while ago they unsuccessfully tried to build a supercenter near where CarMax is now at I-485 and South Blvd.
As an aside, one of the stipulations for letting the Arboretum build the section from Hallmark to the current ABC store was the presence of a police substation. It was next to Bed Bath and Beyond for a couple of years but disappeared. I wonder how the neighbors let the Arboretum get away with that.
Two major grocery store chains within walking distance. Smart move.
This is what I mean when I say that Charlotte needs to say NO to growth. When Hannaford's moved into the Eastland mall tract, it killed Harris Teeter, and ultimately Hannaford's itself. The nearest large grocery stores in the area are now SavOn that caters to the Hispanic trade and Harvey's (formerly known as Bi-Loo) where illegal activities abound in the parking lot.
The zoning people should be forced to own property in the area that they're rezoning rather than just being required to look at a map. Owning property in an area gives one a better sense of reality.

This would give the neighborhood behind the development a supermarket that they could walk to.
Harris Teeter is not realistically walkable from there if you intend on buying more than a few items.

I truly doubt Hempstead residents will walk to a grocery store in that location.
