During the West Dundee Supercenter fight, Wal-Mart refused to confirm what they were going to do with the old store if they opened the new one. As if they weren't sure. Now that they got their approval a week and a half ago, suddenly they're announcing closure of the disgusting East Dundee store.
What dishonest brokers and bad neighbors.
Wal-Mart officials have confirmed that the world's largest retailer will
close its East Dundee store once the company opens a Supercenter in neighboring
West Dundee.
Though East Dundee officials and residents had speculated on the store's
demise for months, Wal-Mart had not previously given definitive word that it
would shutter the store that has stood on Route 25 for the better part of two
decades.
But village officials said they were told Friday that their largest sales
tax generator would be moving out of town.
"They have now taken the official position that they are going to leave
East Dundee," Village President Dan O'Leary said. "It had been the case where
they had been hesitant to give us a definitive answer."
Though Wal-Mart did not give a specific timeline, O'Leary believes it would
take at least a year for the West Dundee store to open.

Speaking of closings, I have heard from two people today that the West Dundee Target store plans on closing. Has anyone else heard this or have more info the share?
Toys are Us is closing, and did you see the new Famous Dave's in Algonquin? How much do you want to bet that it is closing also?
Rt 31 along the mall will soon be a bunch of vacant buildings.
Do we have a strategic plan for the area? Has anyone seen it? What are the goals for the mall 5 years from now?
