Wal-Mart Puts Brakes On Ogden Store

By Catherine M. Welch

Wilmington, NC – Wal-Mart says a stoplight put the breaks on a proposed store for Market Street in Ogden.

The 200,000 square foot store was planned for a stretch of Market Street near Dunbar Road in Ogden.

Wal-Mart spokesperson Tara Stewart tells WHQR that a stoplight couldn't be secured for the area, that along with issues surrounding Wilmington's moratorium on sewer hookups forced the company to abandon the project.

Stewart says Wal-Mart thinks the Wilmington/Ogden area is a good place to build a new store and will continue to search for a new site.
