More to come for San felipe

Walmart de México is current building a location in San Felipe. My understanding from four business owners of the area. It's location is.......right next to the Calimax that was just opened a month ago. The Walmart de México going up in not your usual size Walmart, but rather a smaller version of it.

Calimax made a major blunder during their design stage of this store. The parking lot is extremely small....and many clients are parking off site due to this. Personally....I wouldn't park down the street. Besides......I will always buy from the small grocery businesses of Baja, not the chain outlets.

And now the real bad news................
McDonalds! Yes, McDonalds! Early next year I can start buying fish fillet sandwiches. No more of those fish tacos off the Malecon, for me It is true...McD's is opening in SF.

The Walmart smaller version is named something else, CRS has set in on the name though.
As for Michael's Steak House(Mickey Ds), that sucks, there goes the neighborhood.

reconstituted fish byproducts burger. Yuuum

Hell no! Gotcha Hook :-)

Bajajorge....you are right....but I could not remember the name as I posted this.

Bodega Aurrera

calimax parking does suck but I love the store. I think its small enough to be unobtrusive in a small town, and unlike mcdonalds and walmart I think the mexicans should be proud of its sucess being a 70 year old chain started in tijuana.
they could use some gringo sized carts for multiple 18 packs of tecate though!

Yes....the "off shoot" is Walmart's .
Three hotels and they cant finish the existing highrises :-) I doubt that there be any sort of construction beyond South SF for years. Bad economy, no power, no water. (yeah!)

SF.com is not a good website to rely on.....hell....they were not posting for over two months there That site is doomed. In fact......they had to shut down their existing physical location due to a lack of revenue....which shows on their website (many slots for ads unfilled).

I prefer Randy's http://www.blueroadrunner.com and/or http://www.bajatimes.com/sanfelipe.asp for news.

The Malecon is a joke I hate to say. All that work next to the sea wall ....the inlay colors have faded already. There is no planting mediums. The sea wall (in partial)......has fallen to the sea. The ramps have been severely damaged......the tidal action has excavated the underside of the concrete by 3 feet deep and 4-6 feet inward on each side of the ramp.

All this.....and they are tearing up the opposite side of the street to lay new concrete. What a mess! The business owners down there are having sh-- fits over this.

I have also heard that there will be 3 new hotels going in between SF and Puertocitos The only name I have heard is Holiday Inn Express and 2 others. Also, while we are talking future rumors, SF.com was talking about ripping the sidewalks out on the Malecon?? I thought they were all new??? [Edited on 10-24-2012 by mcfez]

When is Home Depot coming in?...

Wow, use words like Walmart and McDonalds and World War III starts on the forum. Almost as bad as when somebody mentions Obamacare.
