Seems WM is doing a MAJOR revamp to many stores in every state. Adult son said the remodeling activity in the communities surrounding St. Lois is rampant, many locations bringing in workers from several of the big St. Louis temp agencies, working 3 shifts and paying bonuses to those who will work extended hours. At the same time, I read one article in WSJ that said that WM was actually closing some of their small stores in small rural areas ! Wasn't that the focus of their original corporation ? To provide a store offering everything from food to tires, to rural communities who had little access to many commodities without an hour or more drive ? Their "neighborhood market" concept sure seems to be a hit with the one they built here in the V's !
