Walmart to Join OC, Other Area Grocers Pledge Increased Investment

Oak Cliff residents have long lamented the lack of local grocery stores. It looks like Councilman Dave Neumann was listening.

Neumann announced yesterday that a Walmart Neighborhood Market is going in on Fort Worth Avenue near Hampton Road, the former site of Colorado Place Apartments, by 2012, and the area’s second Aldi will open March 9 at Fort Worth Avenue and Jacqueline Drive. Not wanting to be left out of all the fresh food fun, Kroger at Wynnewood Village Shopping Center has extended its lease for five years and pledged a $2 million renovation.

    I just hope they keep it cleaner than the Walmart at 30/Cockrell Hill. That parkinglot is always a mess. I notice a lot of big chain stores keep their store fronts clean in North Dallas, Plano, Allen, Mckinney, Richardson, Frisco……but in OakCliff they don’t pick up the trash, clean the windows, powerwash the sidewalks and parking lot to keep a clean appearance. Walgreens, CVS and KFC and Burger King to name a few. They should keep the stores South just as clean.

    [...] Perhaps that last line was a thinly-veiled dig at the recent Walmart announcement? [...]
