Eldersburg Wal Mart

[nerfherder]

Anyone heard if it's going to have guns or just ammo? Since it's going to be a super-duper-extra-walmart walmart I have high hopes.

not sure I guess we will find out on the 21st. I was at the old walmart up the street today and the first section to be dismantled was the firearms section.

I'm thinking just ammo based on the "Supers" in Randallstown, Glen Burnie and White Marsh.

I can deal without firearms at the new Walmart as long as there is not a bus turnaround as the rumors have it.

Oh damn, no. First I heard of that. What's your source?

I have worried about such a big store in a town with only two-lane roads connecting to the Outside World.

Had anyone else heard what is happening to the old Walmart? I heard a rumor that they were thinking of a SAMs club.

All I've heard is pure speculation on that. Nothing written down.

I had heard that long ago, but don't they have a "for sale" sign on it?

I'm pretty sure it's going to be used as a FEMA Transfer Facility.

I'd like to know how they decide which stores get guns.
Seems weird that a little store like Hampstead would have guns and Eldersburg wouldn't.

Hampstead is beyond the Redneck Line.

Unfortunately, Eldersburg is the Liberal Zone of Maryland's most conservative county (most Republican, anyway: not the same).

There used to be guns at the Eldersburg store. It's a business decision, and I'm fine with that. I would not buy a gun there anyway, if only because of their brainlessly stupid policy of treating their customers like dangerous threats.

I just hope we don't get mass transit connecting us to civilization. That's what killed Owings Mills Mall.

Is it too late to move?

 

[nerfherder]

I really really hope not. There's walmarts everywhere, why ride a bus to one that's further from whatever you local one is?

I'm not sure what is going in at the old location, but I believe I read something about a month ago where they changed the zoning so that multiple commercial businesses can be put there. I don't know if that means the are going to demo and put up a strip mall or if that is just to help sell it or what.

The owners of the old Carrolltowne Mall own the big field next to the old Walmart. A few years ago, they had plans to build an upscale shopping center there. Remember that?

I guess they remembered this is Carroll, and went for the new Walmart based center instead.

I remember that, but I thought that the economic downturn in 07/08 was what killed those plans. Around that same time there were strong rumors that Target was going to build a store here as well (my wife knew a couple of the managers at the Westminster Target)... that also went out the window.

Actually the Subway (if that counts) and large electronics went first. I was in there a couple of days ago and all the TVs were gone... the back wall looked strange with nothing hanging on it. The sporting goods section was still intact then. Today I was back and it was a ghost town back in that corner... nothing left, except the ammo. It was so odd looking I took a picture, lol.

Sometimes the purse snatching and vehicle burglary is just better in new places

Including several boxes of .50BMG last I saw. That would come in handy for round 2 in the city.

I read that the old Walmart will be home to a bunch of small stores. The article described that they were going to break up the store into various sized spaces for small retailers. I think this was in the Carroll County Times. Not certain, I may be wrong. Nevertheless, it's a stupid idea unless the Amish are coming. A whole lot of folks will walk in the first few weeks to see what there is and then never return because they'll find flee market like businesses.
