TIME FOR WALMART

It is the right time for Walmart to bring a store into Queens. They are the largest employer in the United States with over 1.4 million workers.
Queens needs jobs for its unemployed. Queens needs the bargains that Walmart offers in their giant super stores.
The Queens Courier conducted an unscientific poll of Queens residents’ desire to have the giant retailer open an outlet in the borough. The results of 73 percent in favor and 25 percent opposed mirrored a poll submitted by Walmart, compiled by Douglas E. Schoen, LLC. They found that 70 percent of Queens residents said they favored Wal-Mart coming to the city.
We say build it for the jobs, build it for the shoppers. The small merchants will survive as they have the coming of other big box stores like Target, Sam’s Club and Costco. This city must not exclude any employer, certainly not the largest in the country.
