What's Going There? (Cherrydale Area) (Greenville, North: real estate, 2014, appliances)

[AKA_Bo]

Recently noticed that the real estate sign advertising the empty lot next to Staples/KFC on North Pleasantburg (across from Cherrydale) is marked "Gone"

Does anyone know who is taking this spot? It is a decent size.

Walmart, no?

The only empty space would be the northeast corner of North Pleasantburg Drive and Furman Hall Road. This is to become a Walmart Supercenter store. There are no set dates regarding its construction and opening.

Several topics exist in regards to the future Walmart Supercenter store in the Cherrydale trade area:

• "Walmart Cherry Dale." (2013-06-08)
• "What's the closest Walmart to Cherrydale?" (2013-08-27)
• "The Old Kevin Whitaker." (2014-03-21)

The three parcels that will be used to develop the future Walmart Supercenter store are owned by different entities:

• 3136 North Pleasantburg Drive, Greenville, South Carolina 29609-3757, a 6.9 acre site that was previously Kevin Whitaker Chevrolet, is owned by Williams Chevrolet Incorporated. (Greenville County, South Carolina - Property Report: PIN/Tax Map #0174010102900)
• 3150 North Pleasantburg Drive, Greenville, South Carolina 29609-3757, a 0.19 acre site, is owned by Kevin Whitaker Chevrolet Incorporated. (Greenville County, South Carolina - Property Report: PIN/Tax Map #0174010103101)
• 608 Furman Hall Road, Greenville, South Carolina 29609-2936, a 0.22 acre site, is owned by Cherrydale Pleasantburg LLC. (Greenville County, South Carolina - Property Report: PIN/Tax Map #0174010102800)

a Walmart? UGH.

I thought at one time they were considering a Best Buy for the Cherrydale area.

[Carolina Knight]

Best Buy or Circuit City would have been practical in the Cherrydale trade area 15 years ago. Major electronics and appliances stores have not fared well in recent years. Circuit City went out of business nearly six years ago.

If H.H. Gregg or Conn's opened additional Greenville area stores in the Cherrydale trade area, either could succeed.

The Q&Amy section of Greenvilleonline has been informative on some of these questions. Here is the latest. Wow didn't realize two years have gone by almost since that WM was announced. Dragging on this project.

Q&Amy: Walmart Supercenter at Cherrydale?

It seems like this is going to be one like the Pelham Road Wal-mart. Probably the best in the area IMO.

a Super Walmart though? ugh.

I will agree. Most new Walmart Supercenter stores are being built without the tire and lube express department.
