Walmart Is Pretty Much The Park Slope Food Coop

Walmart, in an effort to convince New Yorkers that we absolutely MUST HAVE the big-box store in our five boroughs, is trying to appeal to the Park Sloper-set, says the New York Observer. Long cock-blocked from setting up shop in NYC, Walmart is trying to woo New Yorkers with their promise of such urban trendy delights like eating sustainable organic fruit or protecting the environment and feeding the hungry.
The Observer goes out of its way to draw the comparison to the Park Slope Coop:
That’s the message in a new mailer the big-box retailer is sending to New York homes today that seems to imply that the store shares the same values as shoppers at the Park Slope Food Co-Op.
As if the poor Food Coop hasn't been through enough with "hummus gate."
They don't mention things like driving thriving local businesses out of town or traffic headaches from plopping one of those monstrosities on a neighborhood. But there will be low prices and jobs created. Anybody interested? Anyone?
