Nov 25 - Walmart - Project Idea

It is the prettiest Wal Mart I have seen.......but I still dread having to go to Wal Mart. They are so big and so full of people.......I remember the good old days when Wal Marts weren't supercenters.....just nice little stores.

Way better than the Walmart I live next too --- literally. One night the giant letters above the entry way fell off - they still haven't replaced them.

Great shot! The closest Walmart to me is 20 minutes away!

There was a HUGE todo about walmart opening up in Spring hill. There is one about 5 miles away but its technically in Brooksville. AND there is a sam's club close to that, and another walmart on the other end of Brooksville and one the other direction in Pasco Co. [ It got to be a joke around our house " you are now entering the city of Walmart" ] Their first petition was turned down due to water issues and locale. They persisted and there was a huge court case. Walmart won but was forced to build right beside the sewerage treatment plant. They also had to adhere to style AND lanscaping ordinances. I should take a photo too. Part of me dislikes walmart for not respecting the wishes of the community while the other part just loves the convenience. Just dont shop there when the treatment plant does its thing. Ewwwww!

Very cool! Wasilla has Alaska's first "superstore" that just re-opened not too long ago (was originally built about 6 or 8 years ago and spent 18 months or so being remodeled) and is done in a "style" as well. I'll try to remember to take a photo of it next time I'm out there (it's about 30-35 miles north of us). Our Eagle River WalMart is also being transformed into a superstore and is expected to be completed by Oct 2008. A new facade is being put into place for this one, too. On a related note, our first Target stores will open in Oct 2008 as well (one in Anchorage, one in Wasilla) and they are prototypes for the rest of the country, in that they too, will not look like the typical "box store" - I believe our Targets will be very "Alaskana" in outward appearance. Okay - back to our regularly scheduled program... Great shot - TFS :) -- kimB

I thought they were so pretty when I saw them in October.

November 27, 2007

Love it! Wish they all could look this good.

November 27, 2007

It fit! I love Florida's pinks and feminine facades!

November 27, 2007

Much better than the grey brick for sure.

Pretty looking building. Walmart came to England a few years ago and took over a store chain called ASDA. they haven't changed their name and the buildings are much more utility that that one

November 27, 2007

I think it is funny so many communities will do anything to get a super center, and yours tells them if you want to be here do it this way!

November 27, 2007

how cool is that! a PINK Walmart!! :) Ours kinda fits in with the town, too - not gray or white.

November 27, 2007

wow, that is the prettiest walmart I've ever seen... I don't shop at walmart simply because the parking lot at the walmart nearest us is VERY dangerous with lots of creepy people hanging around.

November 27, 2007

It is very welcoming!!!

November 27, 2007

That is interesting. Are the collapsible shutters for if a major storm occurs?

November 27, 2007

I agree, best looking WalMart I ever saw. I understand the term "Florida Vernacular" but am surprised you would call it "cracker" style. Thought that was a negative term. Anyway, great photo, wish Walmart would spiff up more of their stores.

November 27, 2007

Definitely looks better then ours here!!Thanks for sharing..

November 27, 2007

totally agree! Looks lovely

November 27, 2007

very interesting - definitely nicer looking that the regular walmarts.

November 27, 2007

very interesting. I'd take a Walmart any shape or size if we could just GET ONE! I live in the shopping capital of the North East (literally) and would you believe we don't have a Walmart or a Target! Only a dinky rundown 1960s Kmart!! We have every other store known to mankind I think :) Thanks for sharing this little piece of Florida with us.
