South Baltimore’s SAM’S Club Out, Wal-Mart Staying

Published by Glen at 12:41 pm under Commercial / Office, Port Covington

After multiple conflicting reports, today’s Baltimore Sun has an article revealing that the SAM’s club in Port Covington is indeed being relocated to Glen Burnie, but the Wal-Mart is staying.  Which sucks, because the Wal-Mart is a real dump, but the SAM’s Club is pretty nice.

Basically the article states that the retail stores were premature, and need more residential in the area to support them.

“Clearly the area will go through a transition, and it hasn’t gotten there yet,” Spector said.  “Residential is very important down there,” Spector added. “Right now there is not residential there and retail obviously requires residential bodies.”
