A Viewer Writes: K-Mart

It has come to my attention that Oak Ridge Baptist Church has started talking to possible businesses to replace Kmart.
How could the public influence the decision as to what businesses might move in?

We sure could use a WINCO which would bring jobs and give some competition to Acme and Food Lion.

  1. I heard there is some sort of Agricultural Store going in there.

  2. Really the only influence the public has would be to contact businesses themselves and try to sell the vacant space to them.

  3. You can do that when you own the property

  4. Already have Wal-mart, Acme, several Food Lions, a couple other discount grocery stores, and the new Aldi. The last thing Salisbury needs is a new grocery store.

    1. These are all the lowest level of grocery stores...what we need is a real grocery store and to get rid of some of the ones we currently have.

  5. if you want a business, buy the property and try to lease it to them

    the public has no say in what a private entity does with its property

  11. Aldi is going in the lot across the street (Rt. 13) from Chili's. Construction already underway.

  12. I heard that the Aldi is going to be across from WaWa North and corner of Dagsboro Rd. across from State Police Station

  13. WINCO??? Are they going to deliver stock via airplane?

  14. They can't, but thank you for trying!

  15. And guess what that property doesnt pay property taxes due to its an "nonprofit".

  16. Aldi is being built at the corner of Dagsboro Road and Rt. 13.

  17. I am in business paying taxes. How do I compete against a church not paying income taxes or other taxes? Now they own shopping centers.

    1. They've owned this shopping center for sometime already.

  18. If Salisbury could support a "high-end" grocery chain, we would already have one. We are never gonna get a Wegmans or Trader Joe's, so get used to it! Aldi's is just a better version of Sav-A-Lot, so I'll stick with Food Lion...

    1. You are correct unfortunately. Too many low income people that live here.

  19. Great that will bring more traffic onto Dagsboro road. The county doesn't do anything to curb the speeding vehicles in that area.

  20. I think Salisbury could definitely support a higher-end grocery store, but the profitability just isn't going to be quite the same as over the bridge, hence no investment up until now.

    The bottom-feeder chain stores here charge a premium for any food, good and bad.

    Luckily, there would be a lopsided movement of grocery traffic to any better store setting up here. At least the parent company of Aldi also owns Trader Joe's, so maybe they'll get one in here after they see the Aldi does well & the trucking route is established.

    Oak Ridge Baptist Church should not be in the commercial real estate business. Screw those dumb Kool-Aid drinkers that give their money to those whacko fake preachers.

    You can thank idiots like the Hazel's for donating their money to those fake preachers.

  27. Never heard so many people talking out of both sides of their neck. First Salisbury is a crime ridden low income city. Then in the next breath we "Need" a high end type of grocery store. Then to top it off we aren't ever since thankful for what we do have. Look around people your a country full of obese idiots

  28. They should turn into a place for the youth: Batting cages, indoor skateboard ramps, rock climbing, etc.

  29. Never trust a church that owns that much commercial real estate....in my opinion all churches should pay taxes. They fleece enough money from the congregation I'm sure.

  32. Aldi is a ghetto grocery store. You have to put a quarter in the shopping carts and bring your own bags.

  33. Should make it an ice rink and host youth hockey. Tournaments bring in tons of money. Salisbury University’s hockey team could play there as wel.

  34. Harris teeter would be nice as far as a new grocery store. We would love to see a Boston Market!!

  35. 12:03 Tons of money for who? Business owners and corporately owned hotels and restaurants make money not the local employees. Tournament or no tournament you are still making just above minimum wage.

  36. The church owns that much commercial real estate because its main supporter and member owned Pepsi in Salisbury when Pepsi came around and bought up all the privately held portion of company. Morgan hazel and family from rumor were PSID in excess of 100 million for their ownership. But in saying that its pretty ironic to be able to shelter that kinda loot in a 501c3 non taxable. As far as some of the others they abuse a lot for personal use. One used it to get his kid an athletic scholarship them had it blow up in his face

  37. 10:00 you get your quarter back if you return the cart to where you got it!

  38. You would think there are alot of high and mighty people in Salisbury when actually most probably shop at Walmart. I've been to Aldi in Easton and not a bad store at all and prices are definitely better than Food Lion or Walmart. Give it a chance people instead of putting it down. And yes, you do get your quarter back if you return the cart to where you go it and how many people already carry their own bags to the grocery store anyway - I see alot of them doing that so no big deal about the bags.

  39. The Old kmart I think should be like the old university tire building on 13 South near SU. A bar, a mobile phone store, a restaurant/bar all in one building. Would not hurt to pave and repair that parking lot.

    First of all we are not all obese, those are just the inbred locals.
    Second, a grocery store promotes more healthy eating habits then putting a Cracker Barrel or some other garbage restaurant there.
    Third, Salisbury is pretty crappy, those of use who have a household median over $75K live towards OC
    Fourth, it's "you're a country.." not "your"

    You have obviously never been to an Aldi, I'm guessing they don't sell Muskrat so you wouldn't be interested. And what's wrong, don't have a quarter?
