sunsets Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 But what if it turns out to be a Super Walmart? Like with a grocery? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest danax Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 ive seen walmarts and target right across from each other.. its pretty dumb.but my question is why built another walmart if they are going to knock down that old northline mall and built a Super Walmart???I think being close to each other just draws more people to the area, and some will choose WalMart and some Target. Gulfgate has a Lowe's and Home Depot within walking distance of each other, and both are apparently doing fine. And they are probably green with envy that Target got a chunk of that economically sound demographic, unlike the Northline area.WalMart wouldn't be so obnoxious to me if they really worked on their appearance. Not much they can do about the enormous parking lot though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanith27 Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 I doubt I would support a Walmart in the area...now, if it were a Sams Club, I might be a little more inclined to partake in that one. I think thats the better choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

houstonray Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 (edited) I work in the Copperfield area...there is a Super WalMart within walking distance of a Target, a Lowes next to a Home Depot whose parking lots are connected by a driveway, a Bed Bath and Beyond across the street from a Linens n Things, and a Petsmart one street down from a Petco!And don't even get me started about the Starbucks inside the Borders bookstore, across from the Starbucks in the parking lot of the Target with the Starbucks inside! Oh the pain... Edited May 18, 2007 by houstonray Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
houstonray Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 Read on a neighborhood forum that someone who has an inside connection at Riviana (Mahatma), and they said no intentions of moving and they are considering adding another line and moving the loading docks off of Sawyer street. So who knows? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heights_yankee Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 ive seen walmarts and target right across from each other.. its pretty dumb. Target and Walkmart hardly carry the same merchandise. That's like saying Palais Royale and Macy's are the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tanith27 Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 Looks like they've reached the top of the complex on the east side. IMO, I wish they would go up one more floor just to obscure the cement parking garage that pops out of the middle of the complex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just give it time, they will cover it up with something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just give it time, they will cover it up with something.It'll probably happen pretty quick. Roofs tend to get put up really fast after the structure is complete to avoid too much rain damage...and after it's up we'll all be able to see the new flood plains over there the next time it gets a good rain.

If it does stick out a bit and you only see it from the freeway since the freeway is up high and it goes right next to it... maybe it won't be too bad.

tanith27 Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 Nothing on the website, but given all the earth movers out there, I'm guessing the other buildings will be going up shortly. The Chilis lot seems to be groomed and surveyed so I wouldnt be surprised to see that foundation being poured very soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
houstonray Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 The only things I think we know for sure are another bank, a Starbucks, Panda Express, Radio Shack, Chili's and Petsmart. I don't think there is enough room there for any more bix box retailers. Petsmart will take the only really large enough parcel. I think everything else will be smaller retail in outbuildings...I'm sure that in time, after a few years, as the industrial around SH fades away, they will come.
