You guys are on a big-time winning streak.

Whole Foods has been struggling for a while now that you can buy organic food at any Walmart, Albertsons, Winn-Dixie, etc.

dude, Boulder fricking sucks. The scenery is really cool, but everyone I met there I wanted to kill within seconds.

One. Just got it a couple years ago. Everyone claimed they didn't want it and people picket in front all the time but it stays packed.

I dropped my buddy off at this Wal Mart a couple of weeks ago to get some cash back because The Farm is across the street and they only accept cash.

This wasn't even a full-blown Walmart - it was one of the Neighborhood Markets.

About 70 employees in Boulder will be given the option to transfer to a nearby store.

Congrats on sticking it to the man.

From Google maps it looks like they carried their asses 10 miles from the center of Boulder and opened 2 stores. Congrats.

They ran it off because the ads were trying to take over.

This sounds like a bunch a fluff once you read this.

The whole concept of whole foods is flawed. Sure, I go there every now and then for some good cheese or whatever. But other than that frick that place and their ridiculous prices. I dont have a savings account by throwing money away

Ours shut down last year. Didn't think I'd miss it but I do. There were never long lines and parking was ample.

The 50% off closing sale was awesome though

My town does not have a WalMart. The closest one is 70 miles away and it is a small one
