Weather you're in favor or not, it was approved by the voters. Although I would like to see it closer to the Sturgis area, I think its a great location & its in a commerical zoning area. It will be easy access for the tourist coming thru & for the local shoppers.
I don't think that Rapid City is big enough to handle another Wal-Mart. A second Wal-mart will probably close another business down
We need a new Walmart & the current proposed location is just fine.
Yes I think we need a new WalMart. I think the corner of catron and 79 would be a great location. I do not have a problem with the selected location but down on 79 seems to be a better location.
I think they have picked a great location for it and I think anyone of the three designs that were in the Journal would be a great addition to that area.
This is about the proposed Wal-Mart. As a resident of South Pointe Development I am in favor of the Wal-Mart for these reasons jobs, location, and covenience of shopping.
I think another wal-mart would be great. The wal-mart that we have now is way too crowded. The new location is a great place and i hope it will work out.
It will be nice to see another Wal-mart. Hopefully it will cut down on extreme congestion at the current one. It does not matter to me where it is built... anywhere and soon.
I think the location of the second Wal Mart at Catron Blvd. and 5th St. is a good choice and hope the city council approves it. This location will provide excellent service to South Rapid, Rapid Valley and tourists travelling to Mt. Rushmore on Catron Blvd. and Fifth Street. It will be far enough south to be less competition to any similar downtown business. As to existing disappointed area residents; it is the responsibility of home buyers to research and understand the potential of comercially zoned lots in the area before purchasing residential properties there. A second Wal Mart will certainly ease our shopping problems at the existing store.
After listening to the voters approve the 2nd Walmart it seems as the residence of Rapid City cannot agree to a locations that everyone approves. If I were the executives of Walmart I would look for another location in a different city. The state of South Dakota spent alot of money to relocate an interchange at Box Elder to keep Ellsworth AFB open. In my opinion exit 67 would be a great location for the 2nd store. All of the people that come from out of town can bypass the congestion of Rapid City and with a large chain store moving out to the Box Elder area maybe some of the other ammenidies would also locate out to a town that is growing rapidly.
