Title: Freeways and Walmarts
Post by: Megabox on May 29, 2017, 11:41:50 AM
There's lots of Walmart stores near freeways. The one on Shops Ln, San Jose Blvd, Collins Rd and 103rd St. Good for lots of traffic in the area, to have a Walmart and freeway in close proximity.

That is how Walmart selects their locations: potential customer reach combined with demographic info. Hopefully we can get an urban Target off the new Atlantic Blvd exit of 95 somewhere.

Walmarts, Targets, K-Marts (past tense), Bass Pro Shops,  it is a  logistics fact of life that the easier the stuff gets to the store the cheaper it is to sell.  Take a look and you'll see the distribution centers located near interstates also.  Interstates .........the place where semi-trailer trucks operate.
