You got that right! Same here! I never really cared much for WM, now they've opened a "Super" WM, and closed the old original one. The new one S*CKS worse than the old one!!! They have a
greater quantity of items in stock, but much
less variety of items. We used to go to the old WM about once a month to get a few things that (at that time) actually
were cheaper than their competitors. We've finally given up on them! Every time that we've gone there to get something, they say,
"Yes, we had that at the old store, but we don't have it at this store.....and we won't be getting any either." Also the prices are higher than ANY of their local competitors.
The parking lot at the old store was
always full.....the new one (during their "busy time") has
MAYBE 50-75 cars, normally (besides employees cars) there
might be 20 customer's cars there.
Someone I know that is on a local business development committee, said the store manager told him that sales have dropped by over 50% since there big move, and that they are taking in less than 20% of there target sales figures. At least they've succeeded in boosting the business and profits of the local retailers in town!
I sure do wish them
more bad luck!! Maybe they'll close up here, and some decent business will buy the property and move in! It certainly would be a prime location to open a REAL store!!!
I never spent $2500 at WM in a year, so I won't be saving that much. But I sure will save what I
did spend there! I won't shop there anymore! And if ol' Sam Walton was still alive, he wouldn't either!
