Liberty Wal-Mart: Opinions

Many residents and shoppers in Liberty Township have expressed excitement at the idea of a Wal-Mart Supercenter coming to the township. Here are some of those comments:

Darlene Crenshaw, Youngstown

“I will be glad when [Wal-Mart] comes. I love to shop at Wal-Mart. Every week me and my mom are out here shopping. I can’t wait.”

Anna Dennison, Girard

“I have waited a long time for Wal-Mart. I thought we would have had it long before this. It has taken too long, but I am glad it’s coming,”

Belinda Taylor, Youngstown

“Putting a Wal-Mart out here would be great and more convenient. Plus, there is a bus line out here. You can’t catch the bus to the one in Boardman.”

Barbara Pringle, Liberty

“I am just happy that I won’t have to travel to Austintown or Niles anymore,” she said. “I think the store will bring some good to the town.”

Lee Franklin, Liberty

“I think it’s great because there is nothing else here. This will at least bring business back to the area. I don’t see a downside. The only small downside is traffic and that is minor.”

Sarah Wahed, Liberty

“We have always had traffic out here, this will make no difference. This area needs this. We could use the business coming in and the jobs. This is my community and I am excited about this.”
