Hope it's not a bunch of non-indigenous, lame @ss palm trees...
There would have been NO need for landscaping if they had left some of the pine trees at the front of the site.
How small will the new Walmart be/feel?
So the WMT being built on Hwy 98 is going to be about 78,000 sq ft (I guess.) I recently stopped at the newly opened (01/26/2011) WMT in Niceville (which is about 153,000 sq ft). The Niceville Discount store seemed 'small' compared to the Supercenter in Destin (size?)
I am just wondering how small the SRB Discount store will feel given that it will be half the size of the one in Niceville?
FYI, Walmart's info about types of stores:

It is small compared to a super. I guess it depends on the layout and how much stuff is crammed in. Most Publixes are around 40-50,000 sf I think.
I'm really sad they are not having a garden center!
The Niceville store seems not as deep as the Crestview store but much wider. I figured it had something to do with the lot layout.
I was told by a CSM at the Destin store that the SRB location will be mostly store with some GM stuff too. Who knows until they open the door?

In Edmond, OK WalMart wanted to build a store very badly in North Edmond. The city council said it could not be their usual cinderblock box and told them to design one that was architectually pleasing and well lanscaped. And now, North Edmond has one of the best looking WalMarts in the country. If you want a certain type and well planned community it takes some work on everyone's part, not just the county commissioners.
Will they have groceries?
They had some real site issues that dictated building shape- residential areas to the rear and some wetlands/Swift Creek limitations throughout the property. IIRC, it actually took them a couple of tries to get a site plan for the whole complex that would work around the wetlands.
