How Many.........

[RedWhiteBlue]

of you get to have a District kick-off bash in your Walmart Super Center parking lot? We did that last night!!!! Pretty uptown and fun!!! You big city folk do not know what you are missing..........

[crzyjournalist03]

How many 3A cities have a Walmart Supercenter????

[Old Tiger]

[luvhoops34]

sealy is the only one that comes to mind right now for me,,,im sure more will follow after i read them from somebody else's post

[RedWhiteBlue]

Introduced the volleyball and football teams. Both head coaches spoke. They had the radio show folks there. The booster club sold food and tshirt, what-nots. The cheerleaders did their thing. I guess kind of a mini-pep rally........ but it was good for moral on a week off.

[pirate4state]

That sounds pretty cool. We usually do this type of thing before the season starts, but we do it at the school.

[crzyjournalist03]

I always thought that a Wal-Mart was a rite of passage bestowed upon a city as it leaves 3A and heads to 4A...

[RedWhiteBlue]

I think it is a great idea, even if you don't have a Supercenter and especially if you have an off week like we do. My 8th grader does play tonight- so we are not 'totally' off, but you know what I mean. At least varsity doesn't go the whole week with nothing.... plus it is a moral booster for district (eventhough we started last week).

[44INAROW]

We have our "citywide" pep rally's at TrustTexas Bank's parking lot :)

[luvhoops34]

Pleasanton has a super wal mart and they are 3A! :D

As does Raymondville. And West Oso has one, too. Of couse, they are in Corpus. But they do have a wal mart!

raymondville's wal mart has good pizza at 6 in the morning

I usually stop there on my way to Brownsville. It's right on 281 on the south bound side. And lots less crowded than the one in BrownTown. :D

How many 3a schools have a Super Wally and a Starbucks? Decatur for one..........

sounds like Decatur might be heading 4A next realignment :devil:

Are these parties/rallies sponsored by Wal-Mart, radio stations, or just paid for by the district???

[Texasfootball2]

I would imagine Wakeland being a Frisco school has just about everything including a Dave & Busters.

Just being sarcastic! Other than Dave & Busters Wylie has just about everything also being in Abilene. Personally, of all the 3A towns that I've actully been to, I would say that Decatur is one of the neatest 3A towns I have visited except for the outcome of the football game that particular night.

[Fal44]

we have walmart express... :D

We have one. We'll never be 4A again. Well, not unless they
find a three billion gallon pocket of oil underneath our court house.:(

Wasnt Hearne's Wal-Mart closed?
any others?

The company has rarely closed a store. It has 1,547 stores, of which Texas has 231, more than any other state. In the 45 years since Wal-Mart was founded, Mr. Shinkle said, only half a dozen stores have closed. At the end of October 1991, the company announced that the Hearne store would become one of those half dozen.

Wal Mart closed the store in Robstown, but I'm not sure why. Maybe because they built a super center at 5 points.

[pirate4state]

LMAO Sinton's Wal-Mart was closed :doh: :doh:

Wasn't it closed due to wholesale shop lifting by the employees
or am I thinking of a completely different one?

Well that was the rumor about the Robstown Wal Mart, but I wasn't going to say that.:o

Sweetwater has one, but it is a bit of a scaled down version. Wouldnt have one I'm sure if it wasnt for being on I20 though. Heck we even have a Tractor Supply right next to it.
And I hear we're fixing to get an Arby's somewhere out on the Interstate.:( Wish it was a Long Johns with an A&W attached instead. Oh well.

That was supposedly the reason behind closing both Sinton and Robstown's.

I heard LJS was coming to Sweetwater after the huge response
it received from their two test runs. Is that not true?:(

[AP Panther Fan]

We have a small, Super Walmart, but no Starbucks.:(

1/2 of our "old" Walmart building just opened up as a Tractor Supply, not sure what they are going to do with the rest of the building though.

Not officially yet, but I think it's still being looked at and considered. I sure hope so. Theres still lots of great locations out on I20 for several more restaurants. Keep your fingers crossed.

[RedWhiteBlue]

We are supposed to be getting one of those little strip malls across from Walmart- that has been the rumor for a year. Well they started the construction this year....... talked to the manager at the Hibbett's Sports store in Abilene and he says he has been offered the job to manage the store in Graham- which is awesome! I will believe it when it opens......

Cuero has a "super" convenience store too. What is the name of that one on Hwy 183 just south of town? It is probably the nicest convenience store I have ever seen.

[RedWhiteBlue]

Plus, I think it is so SUPER because I have never even lived in a town with a Walmart or stop light for that matter..... it is pretty dang Super to me.......

No one can say that without me thinking of him- I don't know why???? It is like the girl on Caddyshack, "Tanks for 'nuttin.", or "It's me again Margaret". I actually thought it was funny.
But yes, we have gotten off topic.

There are a lot of new Town & Country convenience stores popping up around this part of the country that are pretty super. Always very nice and clean. Great places to stop after ballgames for all your favorite junk foods and vein clogging fried items.
We dont have one in Sweetwater though.:(

I went through there last weekend when I was visiting some friends and family in Fort Worth and the only reason I knew I was in Lake Worth was because I drove over the lake and the sign said "Lake Worth".
Otherwise I would have probably thought I was in Arlington or something. lol

Our "super" convenience store is actually a small grocery store.....no gas. They have the basics at a higher price, for the most part. They do have a good meat dept with pretty decent prices. I pick up stuff from time to time, but for my standard grocery "shopping" (feeding 4 - TWO teenage boys), I couldn't afford it.
