West Dundee, Illinois Residents Fight Against Wal-Mart

Wal-Mart Supercenter opposed in West Dundee

Citing concerns about traffic, noise pollution and around-the-clock deliveries, West Dundee homeowners rallied Monday night against plans for a Wal-Mart Supercenter slated for an undeveloped 31-acre site near Spring Hill Mall.

"It's not fair, it's not right, and I do not know a single redeeming value that Wal-Mart is going to bring to our village," resident David Stokes, 59, said at the meeting.About 100 people jammed into a fire station, where the Village Board moved the meeting in anticipation of the large crowd. The seven-member board decided Monday that it will vote on the plan next week.

Why let a little thing like being unwelcome stop the retail monster that is Wal-Mart from imposing itself anywhere they choose to? Answer, they don't let it stop them, Wal-Mart doesn't care what the residents think or want. They'll keep doing what they feel is best for their stockholders.
