There’s still no Walmart in Coeur d’Alene, but the retail behemoth is about as close as it can get. A Walmart supercenter will open Wednesday in Hayden, a couple of blocks north of Coeur d’Alene city limits. It’s the second Walmart to open in North Idaho this summer. A new store on the west end of Post Falls, near Cabela’s sporting goods, opened Aug. 18. The 206,000-square-foot Hayden store is at the southwest corner of U.S. Highway 95 and Honeysuckle Avenue. Only one Walmart in Idaho – a Boise store – is larger/ Scott Maben , SR. More here .

Question (also see poll): When new WalMart opens in Hayden next week, which of the Kootenai County WalMarts will you chiefly shop at?
