When A Walmart Comes To Town
Rich Lee
EZ Internet Cafe And Wireless, 937 Pennsylvania Ave.
Lee opened his internet cafe and video-game shop ten years ago. His mother has owned the beauty supply store next door even longer. He doesn’t worry about Walmart because his customer service is more personal, his availability better. “Big stores always sell out,” he said, but he manages to keep everything in stock. His only concern with the new Walmart is that the city will put in a bus line connecting the neighborhood with the mall. Then there’ll be a lot less reason for “walking people” to stick around here, he said.
