It's time now that land is more commercially affordable. But please, don't do like Mini-Walmart, if you build keep it true to size. Rant: at WM you can buy any variation of Little Debbie known to man and more, but if you want a Kalamata Olvie or greek vinegarette forget it.
No more big boxes! Far prefer Target to Walmart, but all these chains are killing what makes this area special!
I'll take a Target, especially if it offers something I need as opposed to the new Walmart/super Tom Thumb which is a complete waste of space. Nothing there - I've given it a shot twice. It is strictly for tourists.

That is big news, but I don't see it on the planning commission's agenda for this month's meeting.

Yes, it is true. And Sheryl Crow will be sitting in with Dread Clampitt at the ribbon cutting ceremony.
I agree, Scooterbug.
If Target was going to be on 30A I would agree with the "no box chain store" statement. Anywhere on 98 works for me.
Goodness y'all it's not walmart or target it is the 80 other chains to come and it will take an hour to drive from 331 to Mack Bayou Road in the summer. Might as well 8-lane 98 now and create frontage roads also. We are about to become Destin East like it or not that is the issue IMO. The area that is state forest between 331 and watersound will be more valuable than ever. Living north of 98 in that area will be literaly like living in a park and prices will skyrocket. Buy your dogette property now!
I am sorry, but as a middle income family residing in South Walton , I welcome the jobs and affordable shopping in our county. I understand the economics of running a small business and competing against big box chains. People are discerning enough to know what to buy and from who. Not all of us make money from tourist and we need an economy boost. If your biggest concern is what hi-way 98 looks like, I wanna trade spots and so do a lot of people in our area. I'm not a reg on SoWal.com, so I'll either be blasted or ignored.... I can live with either.
