Baltimore Grows

Baltimore Business Journal had this story on Friday.

Wal-Mart Stores Inc. will close its Sam’s Club in the controversial Port Covington shopping center in South Baltimore once it opens another wholesale store in Glen Burnie early next year, a Wal-Mart spokesman said.

Steven Restivo said in an e-mail that the Sam’s Club is relocating to Glen Burnie, “as part of an effort to better serve the Greater Baltimore metro area. The existing location will remain open throughout the transition, and we expect this to be complete in early 2008.”
