Dallas is a LOT larger than DC and NYC (land area), and the closest locations are 5-10 miles outside of the city center. I don't know how the company plans to put these stores up in the cities and keep prices low.

The problem with Wally Worlds is that they spread like cancer once they taste even marginal success. Those four Walmarts in DC could end up becoming 9 Walmarts by 2020......


I'm not a fan of Walmart myself, but they are extremely popular here in El Paso, TX. There is a Walmart about a mile and a half east as well as one about a mile and a half west of me. Both on the same street.

I can SOMEWHAT understand the abundance of Wal-Marts in Sunbelt states, but that's ridiculous. Are you near DT EP? Or on the outskirts?

There's a WM less than a mile from my apartment, and probably 4-5 within a 10 mile radius. I live in one of the larger suburbs, though, so I get it. I would be highly upset if they built one in DT Dallas, FW, or in Las Colinas.

I'm about 5 minutes East of DT and it's just this part of town where they have the Wal-marts galore.

And then there's the Wal Marts just outside of Plano...

Surprisingly, I haven't seen one since I've started working up here. I've seen several Tom Thumbs, but no WMs.

Hmm. That's odd. I think the only reason I have so many in a close radius is because I'm near the borders of several cities, so each city wants its own.
