So about a 2 years ago, the Home Base just down the street went out of business. The building sat around for a long time, and finally the Home Depot that was just down the street a little further took over the building and moved. Kinda funny, since the close proximity of the Home Depot is probably what made the Home Base cave in the first place.
Anyway, so then the old Home Depot building was empty for a long time... the site is home to Portland's first Krispy Kreme, and they've recently put in a Quiznos, amongst other things.
Well, they started working on the old Home Depot building a few months back. Of course, the "I wonder what it's going to be...." debate always follows. My fiancee and I like to guess and see who ends up being right.
Anyway, the only thing I could think of that would go into such a big building was... Wal-Mart. We were like, "It would be awesome if it was a 24hr Supercenter!", since we don't have one in Portland.
Low and behold, it's a a freakin' Wal-Mart. Don't know if it's a Supercenter or not, but they just put the temporary signs up.
Now we won't have to go to the Wal-Mart about 2 miles away to get catfood & whatever else. It'll be within walking distance.
For as much flack as Wallyworld gets, low prices = :thumbsup: in my book, employee abuse or not.
