I didn't want Walmart either, but I didn't have a choice - and I do shop at the Super Walmart in Destin once or twice a year... so is it asking too much to have the same kind of items offered at any other Super Walmart? I just feel that if we are going to open up 98 to big box stuff and develop the land into a big huge parking lot and store (and subsequent other developments which follow), then make it good enough to be here in South Walton - make it worth the land and effort. why not serve locals as well as tourists!
We have a Walmart, and people seem happy about it overall. I still have to drive to Destin or PCB for real shopping - nothing has changed - except for Hwy 98.
I thought I would rather like having a smallish walmart - I LOVE my small publix. The small Walmart isn't worthwhile, imo. Not worth trouble to drive there and walk around trying to find what I need to find that most of what I need is just not there.
