Walmart will not be coming to East New York
Company is still looking for site somewhere in city
Late last week, as news was published that a Shop-Rite supermarket, not a Walmart store, will be the anchor at the Gateway II retail development in East New York, Walmart officials released a statement that the company will continue its search for a New York City location.
“Walmart will continue to evaluate local opportunities across all five boroughs,” said Steven Restivo, senior director of community affairs for Walmart, in a statement sent to the Eagle on Sept. 14.
