Asheville businesses
Everywhere you look in and around the city of Asheville, seems like there are new buildings, businesses and housing going up everywhere you look. For example, Walmart already has a superstore off Swananoa River Rd. However, they are building 2 more super Walmart stores, one on Airport rd. the other behind the old Walmart store on Hendersonville rd. What gets me though, is the number of business buildings they are putting up. They are tearing down lots of trees in order to do this too. As I look around, I see lots of spaces for lease vacant and note that these spaces have been vacant since the building was built a few years back. It appears to me, that businesses are spreading themselves thin. Many of the new businesses that have gone in don’t appear busy. Some have gone out of business for lack of customers.
