Wal-Mart Shelves Bid for Bay Area Store
From Associated Press
Wal-Mart Stores Inc. withdrew an application to build a 142,000-square-foot store in the Bay Area suburb of Hercules after a city staff report said the proposal conflicted with development plans for the site.
But the Bentonville, Ark.-based retail giant left open the possibility that it could return with an amended proposal.
The company applied in December to become the anchor tenant on a 17-acre tract it owns in Hercules, 25 miles northeast of San Francisco.
