At the *NEW* Wal-Mart Super center that just opened on South Hill, in Pierce County!

No longer have to make that long and painful 3.5 mile drive to the Wal-Mart Mega-Center at the South Hill Mall.

They have brought with them (so far) an Applebees, with Popeyes Chicken (The Shiznit!), Panda Express, and I would estimate at least 6 more storefronts on the property (all currently under construction).

The big losers?  The Subway store down the street (there is one inside of the Wal-Mart).  And now Albertsons and Fred Meyer will have to get aggressive (both have stores within 1 mile).

Looks like a net gain of jobs to the area to me.  But then, I am just looking at life through Capitalist/Consumerish lenses (available in the Wal-Mart Optometry kiosk).
