In spite of all the claims that Walmart has no intention of building a supercenter up here, I would warn EVERYONE not to let your guard down - they have the nasty little habit of misdirection and outright lies.

One city in Ohio found that out the hard way. Walmart wanted to build a huge building, the city council began working on a size cap, and walmart abandoned the plan. THEN, when the city dropped it's idea of a size cap - thinking walmart was gone - WALMART rushed in and built before the city could do anything.

Want to know just how much space a supercenter would take up here in sturgeon bay? The composite photo on the left is to scale within aprox. 2 feet (meaning if you were to blow it up lifesize, there would only be slight size difference between cars in the lot & cars on the highway)

As you can see, a supercenter is HUGE! It dwarfs all the other so called "Bix Boxes" in both building size AND overall size - coming close to the size of cherry point mall!
