Your very first sentence should say was instead of is.

Darn. I was hoping for more traffic on Unpleasantburg.

Walmart has scaled back the number of new stores opening after eliminating Walmart Express and closing Walmart, Walmart Supercenter, Walmart Neighborhood Market, and Sam's Club stores in 2016. Walmart Supercenter #6223 could be a store whose plans have been delayed or, as it appears, cancelled.

I would be undecided. Walmart does not have competition against other discount department stores and hypermarkets where it needs to open an additional store. On the other hand, the nearest Walmart Supercenter hypermarkets are six to seven miles away in other trade areas.

They would be competing against themselves.
It's not that far of a drive to the TR , White Horse Rd , Wade Hampton (Taylors) SuperCenters and Neighborhood Markets on Wade Hampton and the one on Old Buncombe at Duncan Chapel. It's just not needed.

Good Riddance I say.
Enough Walmart's in this area. Hopefully some other retail will land on that property that we don't have on this side of town.

It's all about convenience. Honestly, I thought it was a good idea. The location that it was going may only be 6-7 miles from existing Walmarts but many people live further out than that and have to travel much more. There's nothing similar in that area. I know there are people that don't care for them but there are others that do. Just sayin

If Target had a store near Cherrydale, I could see Walmart responding with a Walmart Supercenter. Walmart has no competition north of Greenville. It would be counterproductive to compete against itself with another store. Why bother with opening another store?
