Wal-Mart's White Plains 'Urban' Unit within Striking Distance of NYC
BENTONVILLE, Ark. -- In what could prove to be a template for how it would seek to conquer the Big Apple and other major urban centers, Wal-Mart here opened a 179,731-square-foot discount store today in downtown White Plains, N.Y., which the company says contains "unique design elements and a product mix for its urban customer," as well as the mass merchant's most extensive selection of grocery products outside of a Supercenter.
