Council delays vote on Wal-Mart

BY C. DAVID KOTOK


WORLD-HERALD STAFF WRITER

Three council members suggested that Wal-Mart make one more concession - fewer overnight hours - and company officials hesitantly said they would think it over.

The council will take up the issue again next week.


An artist's rendering of the Wal-Mart planned for 72nd and Hickory Streets.

Every other Wal-Mart in the metro area is open 24 hours. The 72nd Street project should not be singled out and treated differently, said Wal-Mart spokesman Ryan Horn.

No one with the city could recall imposing restrictions on the number of hours on any supermarket, discount store or drugstore.

Councilman Franklin Thompson was a sure no vote, saying he was siding with area residents who think the Wal-Mart Supercenter would be too massive, open too many hours and too disruptive to the neighborhood.

The store would have nearly 200,000 square feet and 887 parking stalls.
