Valley Getting Another Walmart

Posted: Updated:

(AP) - An engineering company that's working with Wal-Mart Stores Inc. has filed plans to open another Walmart Supercenter store in west Grand Forks. 

City planner Ryan Brooks says the city's zoning commission will consider the request in August.

Wal-Mart wants to build an 181,000-square-foot store on a 19-acre site at Gateway and North 58th Street in Grand Forks.

Chamber of Commerce President Barry Wilfarht says that area doesn't have many retail stores and the hope is to balance the city's development by pushing more business to the north end of Grand Forks.

It's also expected that another big-box store will attract Canadians. Canadian shoppers recently became able to buy more goods on North Dakota shopping trips without having to pay tax when they come home.
