In California, for example, where Wal-Mart plans to open dozens of supercenters in the next few years, some local governments have passed ordinances blocking megastores that derive more than 25 percent of their revenues from food sales. The retailer opened its first supercenter in 1988, and is now the biggest grocery seller in the world. www.commondreams.org /cgi-bin/print.cgi?file=/headlines03/0712-06.htm   (3716 words)

AustinAction - Wal-Mart's supercenters face resistance Wal-Mart's first supercenter in California is expected to open next year in the booming southern desert city of La Quinta, followed by others in the Central Valley -- Bakersfield, Hanford, Chico and Redding.

The supercenters span an average 187,000 square feet, compared with an average 97,000 square feet for a typical Wal-Mart discount store. austinaction.org /page.php?pageid=AASresist   (3716 words)

Apple Valley mayor and councilmen differ over Wal-Mart Super Center "My only issue with the whole thing is to have a Super Center next to our premiere park, where kids are swimming and, as you know, Wal-Marts are 24-hour operations and I don't think that is the thing I would like to see next to a park," Roelle said. Sagona said there are other places in town more appropriate for a Wal-Mart Super Center. Other concerns deal with the existing zoning of the 30 acres, the future of the current Wal-Mart located next to Albertson's on Highway 18, traffic congestion and competition with a proposed commercial center across Dale Evans Parkway. www.vvdailypress.com /2005/11212606446328.html   (4634 words)

Wal-Mart Is Not a Business, It's an Economic Disease Managements at the three major grocery stores in southern California, where 70,000 United Food and Commercial Workers (UCFW) workers are striking, have said they are trying to renegotiate lower employer contributions to health-care benefits, because they fear that Wal-Mart plans to saturate southern California with stores, and they will be unable to compete. Wal-Mart took advantage of an advanced inventory system; its bulk purchases of goods, which led to price discounts; and a ferocious anti-labor policy keeping wages very low. The supercenter was based on the idea of one-stop shopping: In the same store, one could buy groceries, merchandise and appliances, fast food, and photo development; one could also do one's banking. www.larouchepub.com /other/2003/3044wal-mart.html   (4634 words)
