The bottom line is this: it's 2am, and you need cheetos, a fishing license, an inflatable kiddie pool, ammunition, lawn furniture, 3 TVs, and Christmas decorations. And the kicker - you want to be able to return all of it (except the cheetos (long gone), ammo (spent!), and fishing license (non-transferable)) Monday after your bender weekend. What choice do we really have here? Exactly.

I feel like I have been hearing a couple of people saying almost this exact quote during this thread...

Several have said exactly that...that though Walmart is an aggressive, cutthroat and not overly generous retailer, one who buys from overseas suppliers that pay less than generous wages in harsh working conditions, so are Walmart's competitors, making the demonization of Walmart without also chastising Target, Academy, Kroger and HEB, disingenuous at best, and a lie at worst. And, targeting their faults while ignoring the benefits is only telling part of the story.

Since Walmart's entrance to Yale Street is assured (if they choose to build there), as there is no viable way to keep them out, I'd much rather see my fashionable neighbors direct their efforts toward a fight they can win...demanding that Walmart spend a bit of their considerable construction budget on a more attractive building, with better landscaping, and efficient traffic patterns for its formidable parking lot. At least this way, they would not be as offended when they drive past it, as we know they would never shop there. Pragmatism has served me well over the years. It may work well here.

You brought up the fact that I am new to this board in order to belittle my viewpoints. I just made light of your ad hominem attack. And I can understand how HAIF would get boring when it is dominated by a small cadre of ultra-pro development people who can't stand it when someone challenges them.

I'm not so one-dimensional that you can label me "ultra-pro-development". I've racked up lots of negative rep by questioning the fervor among some HAIFers to develop something on top of every surface lot downtown. I questioned Mosaic before it led to a bank failure; and more recently I questioned the sanity of Museum Tower in Dallas. And I question lots of public projects, particularly those related to light rail. Don't get me wrong, I think that sometimes things that look dumb have redeeming qualities, and I'm certainly not afraid to take up an unpopular/contrarian position. My motivation for contributing to HAIF is to lash out at ill-conceived or intellectually dishonest ideas.

There are people on HAIF that would fit your characterization of being "ultra-pro-development" through-and-through, however those of them that have contributed to this thread have come down pretty strongly against Wal-Mart.

And I have not been defeated. The fight against Wal-Mart is just beginning. The West End civic club had a meeting with representatives of the developer (Ainbinder) and the local and state officeholders last night. At that meeting it was very clear that the developer understood that a single monster suburban Wal-Mart would be a major problem for residents in the area. Both the representatives from city council and the developer said that they did not want to shoehorn a suburban Wal-Mart in the middle of the West End/Heights/Washington corridor. So, while you were congratulating yourself at slaying internet windmills, the Wal-Mart opposition has been making major strides in having their legitmate concerns heard and addressed. Word from the developer was that no deal on the development has been made with Wal-Mart yet. My bet is that Wal-Mart will balk at having something other than their usual big box and walk away from the deal. They won't want to pay a premium for the cost of environmental mitigation and aesthetic upgrading from their usual ugly boxes and won't want to compromise on size. So, while you were arguing that it would be a savage injustice to require people to drive an extra 5-8 minutes to go to Crosstimbers instead of Yale to visit Wal-Mart, the Wal-Mart resistance has already taken real action to stop the development.

Your "bet" is itself a "major stride"? Sorry dude, but talking about results is not the same thing as achieving results. If Wal-Mart can get built within the City of Austin (which has zoning and is waaaay more difficult to work with than the City of Houston) then Wal-Mart can get past this. It may have to modify its typical color scheme or the percentage of its front facade that is concrete cinder block, but political hurdles probably will not be a real problem.

And pointing out spelling errors on a message board is just tacky.

If you're going to accuse someone of being ignorant of something...and you can't even spell that something...I'm going to point it out. It'd concern me a whole lot less if you accidentally misspelled "the" as "teh", because the word "the" isn't a cornerstone of your argument that someone doesn't understand a concept.

demanding that Walmart spend a bit of their considerable construction budget on a more attractive building, with better landscaping, and efficient traffic patterns for its formidable parking lot.

Can you cite any examples of WalMart complying with local interests in such a way? Or will the Heights be the first instance?

If so, lucky us!

Wal-Mart abides by all local building codes, drainage regs, and with zoning regs (where applicable). Otherwise they'd never get their permits.

In the City of Houston, to the best of my knowledge, Wal-Mart has never been challenged. (I know that it has been challenged by activists League City, but unsuccessfully.) It is unclear to me why this particular site is so special that we ought to start now. ...unless it really is a class or race issue.

It has been interesting watching s3mh posit 'unassailable' theories of Walmart's mistakes, claiming them as uncontrovertable fact, only to have a subsequent post reveal that Walmart's research and planning led them to do exactly what s3mh claimed they could not do.

Well I don't see the article I linked to as contradicting anything s3mh says. Wal-Mart is probably capitalized enough to operate all of its Houston stores at a loss sufficient enough to undermine every other retailer in town on every item, indefinitely. I almost feel sorry for H-E-B for thinking they could outbid Wal-Mart.

Sorry, but I don't see any link from "attractive building, with better landscaping, and efficient traffic patterns" to somehow being associated with race, or even class for that matter. If Wal-Mart, or anyone for that matter, wants to build on that site, any concern I have about how that building looks (that I drive by everyday) or traffic patterns, has nothing to do with race. HEB is meeting with neighborhood residents for their proposed location on Alabama, with I believe three potential designs. And this is just to extend an olive branche to the existing neighbors since HEB is the one moving into their area.

Why, yes! Yes they do. In fact, a proposed design for an Austin store would fit perfectly into the Washington Corridor architectural scene.

I live in the Heights and found this forum linked on the Facebook page. My initial thought was "Cool, a forum about the Heights." Then I read it.

There is going to be a Walmart in the Heights area. This is probably a given. This is not a good thing for many reasons beat to a pulp in this forum. It does have some redeeming qualities for many reasons beat to a pulp in this forum.

When the New Orleans Garden District fought Walmart, they had significantly stronger protections and zoning in place then SuperNeighborhood 22 does in Houston. New Orleans lost. They did end up with a building much more suited architecturally to their area, but hey had to start by wanting to keep them out completely and the better building was the compromise. We can't start by asking for what we may actually want because Walmart will negotiate us down from whatever point that is. Never start a negotiation resigned to failure. We have to start at one extreme if we expect them to meet in the middle.

Are you truly that shortsighted, or are you just being obnoxious?

That was a serious response to an absurd proposition. Lower prices would benefit the consumer. And besides, that's basically what the government of China is doing by manipulating their currency to build up their manufacturing sector...only it makes sense for China (and not for Wal-Mart) because there a degree of permanence to industrial infrastructure (whereas price-driven market share is more easily swayed).

Some people are outraged by this, but for all intents and purposes China is giving us discounted consumer goods that they otherwise would've consumed. It's not unlike the foreign aid that we give to impoverished countries in Sub-Saharan Africa, except that whereas we unintentionally use warlords for our distribution channels, China very intentionally utilizes competing wholesalers and retailers.

Fortune just released its 2010 rankings, and this year Wal-Mart is not only the US' but also the world's largest company by revenue:

Few people seem to be arguing for reasonable aesthetic compromise. And as for traffic patterns, there's really only so much that anybody could do about traffic patterns in or around this site, regardless of what ends up getting developed here. ...and I think that we can all agree that a vacant brownfield site would be undesirable.

The other guy misspelled a word as he tried to come off as the superior authority on that very same word. Typos are forgivable, but not if you're going to try to talk down to someone.

Has it occurred to you that Wal-Mart uses the threat of an ugly facade as cheap leverage and that they'd probably end up using an upgraded facade one way or another in the kind of community that would care enough to protest? In places with lots of discretionary income...it's a good business practice.

No, it hasn't. It isn't true. I gave you the facts of what happened in the Garden District and I do not believe from reading this forum topic that you were a part of that effort. My partner was involved with the project and, therefore, I can tell you with certainty Walmart did not come to the table with a compromise in mind. It would be foolish to proceed as though they will in this case.

So you don't understand "why" Wal-Mart would want to do that, or you don't understand "why" the eventuality of Wal-Mart being the only game in town might be perceived as a bad thing?

What's Walmart's market share across individual sectors? I ask this realizing they're the biggest retailer, but what percentage of the grocery sector do they control? Electronics? Toys? Clothing? Et cetera.

I'm curious if their dominance has more to do with the fact they dabble in everything or if they really are becoming a monopoly. Without knowing the facts of it, and not having the time to research it, I'm going to bet it's the former. If they have ten percent market share, or even considerably less, in every sector, then I would imagine that would still be enough to make them the world's largest retailer.

If you read carefully, I'm not claiming that Wal-Mart has compromise in mind when it implements an upgraded facade. Of course...I don't doubt that there are anecdotal exceptions, and if there ever were one, the Garden District in New Orleans would probably qualify. What can I say, but that some nuts are more difficult to crack than others. ...as for the Heights/West End, I think that standard negotiating procedures for affluent constituencies will apply.

I understand why an individual store in a small market would engage in a price war to force out competition and subsequently raise prices. I don't understand why Wal-Mart would want to "...operate all of its Houston stores at a loss sufficient enough to undermine every other retailer in town on every item, indefinitely." How could they possibly expect to maintain monopolistic pricing when barriers to entry are so low...except by maintaining an indefinite price war? And if they did (which would be dumb), that'd be wonderful for the consumer.

I can't find any source that breaks it down by category, but according to this article, Wal-Mart's market share of a $3 trillion retail market in the United States is 11.3%. I'm impressed. But...that hardly qualifies Wal-Mart as a national monopolist. I'm sure that if we were able to look at Wal-Mart's market share among urban consumers, it'd be a fair bit lower.

I meant that Wal-Mart *could* do such a thing if they wanted to -- they have a lot of money. If I were a new retailer thinking of entering a Wal-Mart dominated area I could not possibly be excited about the prospect of being undercut on price no matter what I did or how long I did it -- and I think this would be a losing proposition I would be stupid to enter. This would be in addition to advantages Wal-Mart would already have with respect to economies of scale regarding suppliers, which I'm not going to pretend to understand the subtleties of, but which I know in fact do exist.

The threat of an ever-lasting price war is not credible. Though a tremendous boon for consumers, it would not be in Wal-Mart's long-term interests.

Wal-Mart is only successful within a sizable segment of the retail market because it can deliver "every-day low prices". Competing retailers can succeed by focusing on product quality, greater selection within a category of products, better service, better customer experience and/or store aesthetics, by catering to niche markets and/or selling items that Wal-Mart refuses to, or by being more convenient.

The appropriate response to Wal-Mart (or any other competitor muscling in on market share) is strategic innovation that targets the competitor's dissatisfied or marginally-satisfied customers. It won't always work in small towns where the market for a given product category simply isn't large enough to be split, but it clearly works VERY well in a large metro area. Otherwise you wouldn't witness FM 518 in Pearland or I-45 & FM 646 in League City getting built up around their respective Wal-Marts with all sorts of "competitors".

It would not be ever-lasting. It would only need to drive competitors out of business. This is most certainly in Wal-Mart's long term interests.

Anyway, there is no doubt in my mind that people can come up with business models that can make money selling things. It was not my point to say that there weren't. What I was trying to show by posting that link is that s3mh's ideas about Wal-Mart's motives and reasons for building are as valid as anyone else's. And in addition, I find it funny and a little bit sad that people think H-E-B could ever outbid Wal-Mart on a site, that not shopping at a Wal-Mart could *ever* make it close, and that things like "governance" and "laws" could ever prevent multi-billion dollar corporate entities from doing whatever they wanted wherever they wanted for whatever reason they were capable of coming up with.

Come on, man, we've been over this and you're arguing in circles. If Wal-Mart starts a price war, its competitors innovate and some fail. When Wal-Mart ends the price war, not only is there a retail vacuum and nothing to keep the competitors out, but the competitors that are left are stronger than ever. A price war cannot be maintained indefinitely; it is bad policy.

Retailers in highly-competitive urban areas are most successful when they engage in strategic innovation in such a way as contributes to the bottom line. It isn't enough to out-sell everyone else by volume, as is the case in a small town where Wal-Mart can function as a natural monopoly.

What I was trying to show by posting that link is that s3mh's ideas about Wal-Mart's motives and reasons for building are as valid as anyone else's.

I don't think that anybody here has denied that market cannibalization between Wal-Mart stores occurs. What's more, your link hardly supports s3mk's arguments.

He or she claimed that, "Wal-Mart isn't going to spend piles of cash to compete with itself," and that "And chances are very strong that these [lunchtime] consumers have been cannabalized from suburban Wal-Marts, meaning a net zero in terms of revenue." Your article says that some stores cannibalize up to 20% of sales from other stores...and yet...Wal-Mart continues its efforts to densify. Wal-Mart has literally thousands of stores yielding plenty of data to feed into a predictive model. If they want to build, clearly its because they think that they can make money in spite of some inevitable rate of cannibalization. One thing is clear; that rate is not anywhere close to the 100% speculated upon by s3mk.

The threat of a price war can keep competitors out. The goal is to make money, not to lose money.

I was referring to the claim that Wal-Mart just wants to screw with Target, whereupon everybody began saying with conviction "No, they just want to serve the Inner Loop!" I'm saying that you can't say for sure either way. It's tempting to think that they are willing to cannibalize existing stores just so you don't have to drive another 5 minutes to get to their store, but it's also possible they just want to use their economies of scale such that they can eventually set the price without competition. They certainly have enough money to support any losing proposition to this end indefinitely as long as eventually they can achieve this goal.

If they want to build, clearly its because they think that they can make money in spite of some inevitable rate of cannibalization.

I agree.

Then why do you suppose doesn't Wal-Mart just do it?

On top of everything else, studies show Walmart makes people fat.

Supersizing Supercenters? The Impact of Wal-Mart Supercenters on Body Mass Index and Obesity

Charles Courtemanche

University of North Carolina (UNC) at Greensboro - Bryan School of Business & Economics

Art Carden

Rhodes College

January 1, 2010

Abstract:

Research attributes much of the rise in obesity to technological progress reducing the cost of food consumption. We examine this hypothesis in the context of Walmart Supercenters, whose advancements in retail logistics have translated to substantial reductions in food prices. Using data from the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System matched with Walmart Supercenter entry dates and locations, we examine the effects of Supercenters on body mass index (BMI) and obesity. We account for the endogeneity of Walmart Supercenter locations with an instrumental variables approach that exploits the unique geographical pattern of Supercenter expansion around Walmart’s headquarters in Bentonville, Arkansas. An additional Supercenter per 100,000 residents increases average BMI by 0.25 units and the obesity rate by 2.4 percentage points. These results imply that the proliferation of Walmart Supercenters explains 11% of the rise in obesity since the late 1980s, but the resulting increase in medical expenditures offsets only a small portion of consumers’ savings from shopping at Supercenters.

Keywords: Walmart, Wal-Mart, warehouse clubs, obesity, body weight, body mass index
