Retail Location

When I was in Atlanta over spring break we visited a Wal-Mart located in suburbs. I think the location was perfect because there was not a lot of thru traffic. Even though most businesses like to locate their stores close to where there will be a lot of vehicle and pedestrian traffic I don’t think Wal-Mart really needs to do that because no matter where Wal-Mart is located people are ALWAYS going to need to go there. So driving a longer distance to get there shouldn’t be much of a problem.
One of the biggest problems I encountered with that Wal-Mart is there was very minimal parking in the front. So we were driving around forever trying to find a spot. Now from not knowing my ways around there I didn’t know there was a PARKING DECK under Wal-Mart (For entry through the back!). That is a very cool feature to have but not if you didn’t know it was there! So I thought that was a little inconvenient towards the out of area customers.
I think it is a very good location because it is not so busy and sometimes Wal-Mart is known for being too crowded. The only problem would be the parking (at this particular location).
