New chain stores coming to Wal-Mart site in Waynesville

Written by 

A 12-acre empty tract beside Super Wal-Mart in Waynesville has sold for $3.5 million, slated for a Michael’s craft store, Pet Smart and new location for Belk department store.

Belk will move from beside Ingle’s grocery store to the, much larger, 85,000-square-foot spot in the high traffic Wal-Mart shopping complex.

The site was original slated for a Home Depot. When the economy tanked, Home Depot changed its mind about opening a new store and has been trying to off-load the tract. Home Depot did well for itself, selling the site for more than it bought it for, according to property transactions.

    It is said that humans are fickle creatures, and if that is true, then the weather must be at least part human. For as of late, it never seems to cooperate.
