By Staff Report-

Wal-Mart management says there is no truth to the rumors that have been circulating about the stability of the new Warsaw Wal-Mart SuperCenter.

Gary Elder, store manager, said, "The building is not sinking and there's been no structural damage to the store. We're not closing down or moving back to the old store or anywhere else. We are very happy with the response we've received from the area and we're here to stay."

Assistant Warsaw city planner Kristy Mehlberg also said there's no truth to the rumors.

"We've heard of no problems from either the builders or the tenants," she said. "In fact, Todd Slabaugh (city building inspector) was there about six weeks ago and reported no problems."

Work continues on Lowe's, with a planned March opening date. Petro Family LLC also is planning a commercial development just north of the Wal-Mart SuperCenter. [[In-content Ad]]
