Why not put the new store in the South area?

I thought the exact same thing when I read about the new WD. I don't know why you would put a new grocery store in that area. There are an abundance of grocery stores near 466A. This new store store is less than a mile from Walmart.
The only store south of 44 is the Publix at Magnolia. There is another Publix just north of 44 at Lake Deaton Plaza. Publix is notoriously expensive.

I would think that the first discount grocery store (Walmart, Aldi, Lidl, Costco), down in the "new section" would have a monopoly. People would flock there.
