VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) - People living in the area around Grandview and Boundary will have a new big box store when Costco moves out this summer. It looks like Wal-Mart is coming to Vancouver after all.
The world's biggest retailer has been trying for Vancouver for years. Concerns over traffic and what it might mean for local merchants has kept it from Southeast Marine Drive.
Today's Vancouver Sun reports Wal-Mart is expected to open there on Grandview next year, on a site already appropriately zoned but still the news isn't welcomed by everyone.
One man this morning says he has been to a few Wal-Mart stores and he didn't think the deals were that great.
The chain believes it will fit in there and the company hasn't give up on its Southeast Marine Drive location either.

dang im not excited about this at all! i was really happy to hear that costco was gunna be really close to my house so i could go food shopping a lot and just walk home.

LOLZ i was especially looking forward to buying those 1kg bags of dried mangoes! ='[

i love walmart <3

yay, walmart !
i really do hope this happens, just cause i was so excited when i heard a Walmart was going to be built near my house; somewhere on marine drive. But it never happened ! : (

I don't like how Walmart shuts down small businesses by moving into a community but I can't help but to love Walmart either... I hope it's a super center they are opening here!

it's so close to my house. i don't really buy anything at walmart but pretty excited that it'll be built. ehh i ono about giving up the free food at costco or even the cheap conncession food. there is also a boston pizza, canadian tire and starbucks that are being built along grandview highway... i believe other things as well...

It's about time, there's like 2 Walmarts in Surrey.

Walmart is apparently a terrible company... you guys should check out the documentary on it



But again, what is someone suppose to do when they have such good steals?

i'm kinda against Wal-Mart, after learning about their company and how they treat their employees for a school assignment. and their deals aren't that great. I heard its going to open near superstore, so there's gonna be competition. I'll stick with Real Canadian Superstore, rather than the american owned Wal-Mart.

yeah, they are. they ripped me off. should have just went to superstore instead

Sucks, what happened?

I don't even think I shop there...but whenever I go to the States, my friends seem to be really into Walmart. We even went at 2 in the morning once haha, I can't believe they are open 24 hours a day
