After much back-and-forth, Wal-Mart is coming to Cedar Point, NC. And it is not going to be just a regular Wal-Mart, it will be a Super Wal-Mart. That means that this small town of roughly 1,000 (and the surrounding areas of Cape Carteret and Swansboro and Emerald Isle) is probably about to get larger, much larger. The next page of this post has a link to the map of the new Wal-Mart site.
Wal-Mart is the largest retailer in the world. Its annual revenues are $285 billion and that makes it the world’s largest corporation. In the US, Wal-Mart operates more than 3,500 stores and an additional 1,600 abroad. The company’s annually turns a profit of around $10 billion.
While some local residents feel that a corporation of that size is a not a good fit for a small town, others are glad to see the growth. And as one can imagine, discussions can get pretty heated.
