Walmart gets it's butt kicked twice in one week.........................
Bowing to public pressure, Wal-Mart Stores Inc. and developer Angelo G. Tsakopoulos announced Wednesday afternoon they are withdrawing their application with the city of Elk Grove to build a supercenter at Sheldon and Power Inn roads.
The withdrawal comes two days after a San Joaquin County judge ruled the San Joaquin County judge ruled the city of Lodi's approval of a supercenter is invalid because the environmental impact report did not take into account energy consumption and the impact of other nearby Wal-Mart stores.

1. Too bad they couldn't stop the one set to open next month
at Antelope Road and Roseville Road. It's about a half mile from my house and I just can't wait for the increased traffic.
