Walmart has packed up its toys and gone home, at least for now.

They've withdrawn the application to build the SuperWalmart at Ulmerton and Starkey. While they can still try again later, there was obviously enough mobilization against the idea to give them pause.

Thanks to anyone who gave their support.

I thought that there was a Super Wal-Mart in that area already(???)

There's one on US 19 just north of Park Blvd.

For all that I generally like WallyWorld, I'm really glad this one got shot down. There's enough sprawl already. :P
