Looks like the area around walmart, off of 138 area is going to develop a big area of the land right there and i heard that they want to add another grocery story in that area. 

But in my opinion, Kroger's and big lots declined in sales due to the Walmart supercenter being built.

You may think the extra $20,000 over the pay I earned at Wal-Mart would be life changing, but it was not.

My wife and I are retired; we decided to buy MF properties to generate income so we don't have to work at Walmart.

When’s the last time you saw ikea or walmart etc close down because they couldn’t make a go of it?

Developed a unique product that was featured on Shark Tank (now in major big box stores like Walmart)...  

But they do have a walmart and stuff.

.  ;-)Move to my town (SW Missouri, pop. 160,000) and two full time Wal-Mart entry-level folks making $11/hour can spend about 25% of their monthly income to purchase a 3-bed, 2-bath, 2-car garage house built within the last 10 years in a nice neighborhood.If you don't believe me:  zillow.com/homedetails/1660-N-Marlan-Ave-Springfield-MO-65803/126248755_zpid/30 year mortgage of $129,000, 0% down, 5.5% APR. 

Purchase price: $124,000 Cash invested: $2,000 It was walking distance from nearby Walmart.

The closest Wal-Mart is about 22 miles east, in Moberly, which says to me there's probably not a lot of economic activity in Salisbury.
