Mark Oct. 29, 2008 of your calender. The long wait is over. Those who are so inclined will be able to buy cheap Chinese imports and other cheap goods from the "unique" & "upscale" Wal-Mart.
We hope the thousands of our neighbors that signed the OV1st http://ov1st.com/ pledge to stay away from the OV Marketplace will remember to honor that pledge.
Now, more than ever, we hope all of our readers will support the retailers that contribute 100% of the collected sales tax revenue to Oro Valley.
PLEASE---- remember every time you spend YOUR money at ANY Marketplace retailer, VESTAR POCKETS ALMOST 1/2 OF OUR TAX DOLLARS.
We implore all of you to avoid shopping, in particular at Wal-Mart.
Why not continue to support our existing retailers?
For example----shop Frys, Safeway,Target, Home Depot, Office Max, PetSmart, Ross, Sports Authority, Big 5 Sports, and the host of other Oro Valley stores----the vast majority of who have been servicing our community for years.
Why subsidize Vestar??? It makes NO SENSE! Whenever possible, shop smart----where Oro Valley keeps 100% of the sales tax!!!
