Guest Store Owner Posted October 29, 2006 Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 The Kearny Avenue vacant storefront watch as a result of Walmart opening in Kearny has begun.

Guest Guest Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 I feel for the store owners,but I'm really happy we got a Wal-Mart. It's much cheaper shopping in wal mart then the avenue stores. Let's face it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was not a fan of Walmart coming to Kearny either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stores have gone out of business before WalMart came to town and stores will continue to close after.Thats the nature of business. On the south end of town Harrison Photo closed, now a deli is opening in it's place, The hiring hall closed and now it's an Italian American Club. Stores come and go.
