- In Dallas, Wal-Mart Stores has offered to trim the size of a proposed
supercenter from 218,000 to 206,000 square feet, as it struggles to keep the development on track. However, some local officials still want a greater reduction in size, though Wal-Mart says the real estate is too expensive to cut back any more.
The Dallas News reports that Wal-Mart cannot build the
store without a variance because current zoning allows a store of only about 85,000 square feet.
