there was no reason not to
I knew they were gonna build it!
I don't see why they need another one within a five to 10 mile radius of 3 other Super Wal-Marts.
IMHO, it is not necessary. The color of money wins again.
I say....you can't stop progress...and this my friends is progress.
Wal-Mart is a tattoo on Americana.
Good news.
I got tired of seeing those "Say No to Walmart in Helotes" t-shirts.
It's not over yet. That land still has endandgered species which have already been relocated once due to the La Cantera development, so they definetly have grounds to sue on.
Oh and btw, I'd expect to see certain Helotes politicians on the way out.
I didn't know Texas had any endangered species...so that's where those Dodo birds went.
It's over...you know sometimes...Goliath beats the out of David...they just never tell those stories. This my friend is one of those times...besides...they all they want, but in the end...you'll see 95 percent of those people at that Wal-Mart at 3 am buying something.
It's not over yet. Lawsuit.
Progress sucks.

, if Compton can beat Wal-Mat, so can Helotes.
My parents live in San Juan Capistrano, CA and she said Wal-Mart wanted to build there and the city shot it down.
I'm not that fond of WM, but I went grocery shopping there yesterday and damn if their prices don't beat HEB. After Albertson's left, HEB raised their prices. Then when Wal-Mart first opened up by me, the lowered them. But now they're up again. When I shop, I do the power shopping because I go when when we are out of everything. I can honestly say my bill was probably about $30 cheaper than what it would have been at HEB.
We still love our HEB. We shop at Wal-Mart for some things but still do 90% of our grocery shopping at HEB and don't buy any meat products at wal-mart. We price compare and WM isn't always the cheapest and we use alot of coupons too.
Believe me, I'm a cheapo and we comparison shop all the time but it depends on what you are shopping for.
Compe ion is good.
Oh, and by the way, the wife works at HEB so we are a little biased.![]()
exactly... i had been shopping at heb since i moved here...the other night i was in wal mart and decided to buy some food... i went nuts because the prices were so much cheaper! not only that, but i got checked out incredibly fast.
regardless, if wal mart is built, everyone from helotes will go there once they see their prices.
Damn, I need to go to the WM's you all are shopping for.
there is a nice new one on bandera
i'm in the who gives a camp, regarding the helotes walmart.
I agree, but that's just because I don't live in that area.
That's why I think the Wal Mart in Helotes is stupid. The one on Bandera is only a few miles away.
but people don't like to drive too far for groceries... many times i shop at the heb even though it is more expensive bc it is only 1 mile away vs 3 miles away...
True...but the people of Helotes have been anyway.
I'm wondering if their reason for building one in Helotes is to attact people possibly from Pipe's Creek and Bandera? If that's the case, why not build on out that way?
I used to always shop at Albertson's off 1604/Bandera. I just liked that store better and hated (and still do) the HEB that's off Guilbeau. But then when the built the 1604/Bandera one, I became it's friend.
I've heard rumors that Central Market may build by La Cantera. I hope so.
