Walmart coming to Port Credit?
Hey everyone from Port credit or the surrounding areas lol
Apparently Walmart wants to open a location right here in port credit!
A lot of people are against this, saw the article online:

what do you guys think?
Personally I'm all for it.
It's job opportunities for those who want them/need them. I don't see how its taking from the community, if anything I think it'll expand the community.
Wal-Mart or Target in Port Credit

What "small town feel"? It's been gone ever since those tony waterfront condos and town houses went in. Right now the east end of Port Credit (the proposed retail site) is nothing but an ugly shell of an industrial building that I've been wishing someone would tear down. It's an eye-sore and a blight on the community. That whole area is depressed and full of chain-store fast food outlets. Private businesses continue to open and close after just a few months.
Good for Wal-mart. They're staying out of the centre and this'll bring a great boost to a main street in area that lost the small town feel long ago.
