So much for standing ground against Walmart. I saw the shiny new super center today.

Nobody can hold out forever against the Walmart.

fwiw, i think its smaller than the original location and not in the middle of real helotes, I mean this one is on the fringe of Helotes, tbh.

Yeah, it's on the fringe but it's still in Helotes.

Come to think, the store did look smaller than the typical new super centers, but this location is pretty good for them, imo. They'll definitely siphon off a lot of the business that the Super HEB currently has at Bandera/1604.

I almost feel sorry for the Super Target in that area. It was already a super clean ghost town without the Walmart.

Sounds like the downsized Wal-Mart that went up at the old Northcross Mall location in Austin. That area was actually underserved by general retail and grocery, so I had no problem with that one. HEB either missed an opportunity or were satisfied with their current locations.

Two schools directly across the street. Going to be some interesting traffic in that area -- and prob a gold mine for Helotes in terms of speeding tickets.

The people of the Crestview Neighborhood here in town tried for months to stop a Wally World, they eventually gave in cause there is now a "nicer" wal-mart there.

No doubt.

There's already a cop that sits at the Bandera/Hausman light waiting for people to make a U turn just under the sign that says "no u-turn".

that illegal U turn is right at the Walmart.

They already give out a lot of tickets there on Leslie Rd/Bandera, so I'm sure it will only get worse.
