The “Water Cooler” is a feature on Claycord.com where we will ask you a question or provide a topic, and you will talk about it.
The “Water Cooler” will be up Monday-Friday at noon.
Today’s question:
QUESTION: Do you think Concord should try to get stores such as Target or Walmart? If so, where should they put them?
Talk about it….
WHY would any city want WOKE target ? ? ? ?
Consumers voted with their feet, boycotting target and stock price cratered..
As for walmart Martinez and Pittsburg are close enough.
Already stated why I won’t ever set foot in a target, won’t shop walmart because of their historically how they’ve treated employees.
Nah. Pleasant Hill & Martinez can have them so there is tax leakage from Concord.
Concord has that humongous and marginal Sun Valley Mall. I bet the Veranda generates just as much sales tax at 1/4 the size.
NO
No! ..there are others close enough!
Walmart superstore
No… Martinez in Pleasant Hill have them. That’s close enough. I like Walmart I just stopped going to Target. The prices are no longer competitive, plus they’re stalkers do not do a good job putting the correct prices on the merchandise . The finsl straw is thst the company philosophy is a bit too liberal activist for us.
Well if you want to run around the store to find an employee who can unlock the case where facial cleansers and moisturizers locked up and employee wages mean they qualify for MediCal and Section 8 then get a Walmart. If you want a store where customers are not treated like criminals and they pay a fair wage to the employees a Target
Not sure what store works but our Concord Community deserves the conveniences of having a store that carries the daily products and services one needs without having to drive to another city. I personally would prefer to spend my consumer dollars in my city and not give up sales tax to other outlying cities. Every tax dollar counts we’ve heard over the years, correct? Concord has lost many large businesses over the past years and it’s time to entice some back and provide the community options to shop within our own city.
Walmart tried to build a store in Concord and it got denied by the city. I’m kind of surprised that folks have forgotten, it wasn’t that long ago. We ended up getting a Lowes in the same area instead.
Get a grip on crime first.
I never liked Target, and going gender-neutral with their restrooms sealed it for me.
When Walmart started locking up their merchandise, I stopped shopping there.
How about a WinCo instead? Good produce, meats, and fish, at good prices.
