The former Blockbuster space at Belmont and Greenville has been hollowed out as part of its transformation, along with the former Whole Foods building, into a Walmart Neighborhood Market.
A friend claims we spend too much time on the blog talking about the soon-to-be-new Trader Joe’s on Greenville, so instead of talking about Trader Joe’s today, I thought I’d devote a few minutes to talking about the new Wal-Mart Neighborhood Market taking the place of the former Blockbuster and Whole Foods on Lower Greenville at Belmont.
I drove by the site this afternoon, and construction is underway big-time. Both the former Blockbuster and Whole Foods buildings are primarily shells, with the insides and much of the floors having been torn out. The parking lot also appears to have been torn out in many places, but the overall building footprint doesn’t appear likely to change much. Based on what I’m seeing, construction-wise, it looks like the new store will open sometime this fall.
So there you have it — no discussion of Trader Joe’s today. Although, if you are looking for a Trader Joe’s update, there’s no construction going on yet just down Greenville, where the Trader Joe’s will be located.
