New super Wal-Mart opens Friday in Hudson
By Times Staff Writer
Published March 4, 2008
HUDSON - The county's newest Wal-Mart Supercenter will open at 7:30 a.m. Friday. The nearly 211,550-square-foot store, located at 12610 U.S. 19 just north of Beacon Woods Drive, will be open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and will feature a grocery store, Tire & Lube Express, a hair salon, SunTrust Bank branch and a restaurant. In a news release, company officials tout the store's design - pineapple reliefs decorate the entrances - and its environmental features, including stained concrete floors that are specially designed to require little maintenance. The store employs 400 associates. The manager is James Schroder, who began his Wal-Mart career more than six years ago as an overnight stocker at the Port Richey store and worked his way into management.

What a traffic nightmare this is going to be for the most dangerous section of US 19.They should have to build these things on interstates with their own exits.Oh Well Taxpayers will have to pick up the tab to fix that and the employees medical bills

Fifty years ago, they were screwed-up kids sent to the Florida School for Boys to be straightened out. But now they are screwed-up men, scarred by the whippings they endured. Read the story and see a video and portrait gallery.
