Although long anticipated, it has finally been announced that Walmart and LA Fitness are the new anchor tenants in the former K-Mart Plaza on Main Street in Bellevue.
According to a post by Lark Turner on the ad site (formerly a news site) called SeattleTimes.com, there are apparently those who have issue with Walmart due to what are seen as less than stellar employment practices.
I am personally very happy to see something done with the property and I think a Walmart (with emphasis on groceries) will be a great benefit to those who live in the area. I’m also pretty sure that most of the 90+ people who will work there will be glad to have jobs.
At the same time, I’m not too sure about the thoughts behind LA Fitness though, as there are rumors that their location in Bellevue’s Galleria is in trouble.
