Michael is 100% correct. The building itself is too small for even a small Walmart, and the lot itself is too small for a tear-down and a new Walmart to be built.
Like Michael I have intimate knowledge of this location, and I agree with him on this one. Sorry FLL! Maybe Walmart could build out on rte 104? You should give them a call
Michael, have you considered trying again to move forward with your idea? Perhaps the new ownership will be more helpful than the old ownership.
