If only we could get them to move it from this already extremely congested area to adjacent to the nice spacious shopping center where the Whataburger is going in on West sunshine just past Bypass. Have them put a Target in that big empty unused field next to it while they're at it. I'm tired of going to the SE side of town for things, lol. I'm sure they'd get plenty of business from all the basic white bitches down the road in Republic and my lame middle-aged fat-dad-ass would be right there with em.

It's numbers, demographics, and market research.

Things get built in locations that meets those metrics. It would make money where you're talking, but obviously they've crunched their numbers and this is the location that makes sense. Otherwise they wouldn't have fought so damn hard.

My guess is that they're trying to cluster themselves near Starbucks in town. Starbucks also has big money to do all that research, then just copy what they do, while also using clustering.

Yes!!! There are so many neighborhoods to the west of West Bypass and no nearby coffee. Trailer Perk coffee is opening a permanent location on Chestnut, across from Missouri Mikes. But there’s so much space near Bypass and Sunshine. Plus tons of people commuting in from Republic, Aurora, etc.

I’ve heard rumors of a mini target near that location which like…. Ok??? Who is asking for that?

The fields behind Walmart that are currently under construction are going to be another ill-placed and overpriced subdivision
