Although Walmart’s plans are still not known to a lot of people but they have already acquired a property at the Empire Center.
The largest retailer in the whole world, Walmart, just acquired a 12-acre property last June. This said property is also where people could find Great Indoors store at the Empire Center, which is a home to a Target store and also other big box retailers.
A Walmart spokesman refused to comment whether the company plans a supercenter, which means that it would be operating 24/7 and would need more or less 350 people, or maybe they would just opt for a smaller store.
Even the city officials still do not have any idea as to the future plans of Walmart.
This area is perfect for another Walmart since they have very minimal presence in the area north of Los Angeles.
For Burbank, having a Walmart in the area could mean a lot of advantages and one of these is an influx of tax revenue. On the other hand, other retailers like Target would see this move as a threat.
