Tega Cay SC Wal-Mart Opening?
I posted an update in January that Mayor Bob Runde announced during a council meeting that the Tega Cay, SC Wal-Mart is scheduled to open March 17, 2008. I took a look at the Wal-Mart’s store opening website and did not find an update. One of my Tega Cay sources told me this week that he was at the Wal-Mart at the beginning of the week. The fixtures were recently installed but he did not see merchandise yet. He was told Wal-Mart is still shooting for the March open date. I took a picture of the new store front in the end of January 2008. The store front is definitely unique and looks like many small stores instead of one large store.
Many of us have been complaining recently about the increased traffic congestion especially during rush hours on Highway 160. I’ll bet we will have more traffic complaints once the Wal-Mart opens. That’s the price we pay for progress.

There is a Walmart being built near my home in Katy Texas. Would this normally be a good or bad thing for home values in the area?

Well…Walmart Lover it depends on how close you are to the Walmart. The bad news is if you live next door to Walmart, well that’s not so good for home values. But a business may want the space if it can be rezoned. In that case, “Jed, pack up the kids were moving to Beverly Hills!”. Just think of the traffic you’ll have trying to sell. Many will see it 24 hours a day!
We love comments. Thanks Walmart Lover.
