good-bye, Massapequa Walmart! (Merrick, North Bellmore, Bellmore: supermarkets, location, market)

East Massapequa, just like Massapequa and North Massapequa, is a hamlet.

Massapequa Park is a village.

The "Massapequa, NY 11758" ZIP Code and the "Massapequa Park, NY 11762" ZIP Code do not determine if a place that has either a "Massapequa, NY 11758" or a "Massapequa Park, NY 11762" mailing address is actually in either the Hamlet of Massapequa or the Village of Massapequa Park, respectively.

If you haven't already read this, NYS Geographic Glossary may be of some help to you in understanding the geography of "Lawn Guyland".

Sorry to bring this back to the original topic, but since I live in the area and don't have kids I find the Walmart to the more interesting topic over where someones kids go to school Amityville/Massapequa.


Has anybody heard anything more about the Walmart situation? I skimmed the last dozen pages so forgive me if I missed it.

I couldn't help but look at Walmart and the Mall the other day... No room to expand? Really? There appears to be multiple options depending on how much Walmart and/or the Mall wanted to spend to keep Walmarti that location.

For one, they have that loading area (if you are looking at Walmart from the parking lot) off to the right. Do the trailers really need the enclosed area? Go to the mall on Friday morning at about 9-10 in the morning and you will see multiple trucks belonging to vendors taking up an entire section of the parking lot in front of the mall entrance (to the right of the enclosed delivery area).

If they used that enclosed delivery space, realistically they could expand as far as they wanted on the right up to and even move that mall entrance.

Has anyone notice that the restaurant to the left of Walmart (I believe it was Beefsteak Charlies?) is now closed? Why couldn't Walmart occupy that space if they wanted to expand?

Why couldn't Walmart expand out towards the parking lot from it's insisting frontage?

Why couldn't they build up? A third story? Some of the other anchors have 3 floors.

I'm sure some of those options are expensive, but I'm sure a landlord will go to great lengths to keep an anchor like Walmart, especially if it might kill a majority of traffic into it's property.

Why would Walmart be so quick to give up that location? The only possible reason is because there is no room to expand, but that is not true. Walmart gets a ton of people going to it from multiple bus lines, do that many bus lines serve the Famringdale location? Why would Walmart give that up?

I read this week that Walmart wants to make the Farmingdale location a Super Center with expanded grocery and produce. It's about time the NY area get a super Walmart.

Another article this week said that customers from NYC, which will not allow Walmarts, account for $165 million in revenue to Wally World. Seems people are willing to travel to avoid the pro-union NYC nonsense.

Long Live Walmart...America's greatest retailer.

Not necessarily xenophobic, it's more like "illegal immigrantphobic". I find this funny though coming from somebody living in the boon-docks of Wading River; which most likely breeds Anthrophobia.

It's not a blessing, but like other homogeneous areas: GC, Merrick, Wantagh etc, it's a much safer area with 50x better schools. Whether the 2 are correlated is up to the casual observer. But don't worry, in 50 years, everyone will be brown or some shade of it. So areas like these will be a diamond in the rough.

Man dead, woman hurt in New Hyde Park shooting

I know I'm coming in late on this and it's technically off topic but...

That location could be considered Lake Success or Glen Oaks (Queens) or even Floral Park. I'd call it Glen Oaks before I called it New Hyde Park proper. And having lived within 10 blocks of this a few years ago, I'd say it's an even nicer area than New Hyde Park (that is not saying much though). Merrick is a nice town, I looked there and Bellmore extensively as well as Massapequa (where I ended up)...too many 40x100 lots and I saw a LOT of illegal apartment conversions (5 "families" crammed into one house). Not exactly what I want for neighbors.

PC on topic comment: Walmart at Sunrise mall? Who cares? I don't go anywhere near that place. I do shop at Walmart, but I go to the one in Westbury.

Actually you go to the one in Salisbury.

According to the Census Bureau's online address search function, located at 1220 Old Country Road, that Walmart is in Salisbury ("Westbury, NY 11590" mailing address).
