For 38 years Brick's Market has operated in Tunkhannock on Tioga Street, weathering economic downturns and other challenges.
And as plans for a 153,000 square foot Wal-Mart SuperCenter are reviewed by the Wyoming County Planning Commission and Eaton Township, Brick's Market operator Lynn Reynolds is growing concerned.
Noting that the SuperCenter will have groceries and will be a challenge equal to any recession, Reynolds said, "I worry about myself and I worry about other small businesses in the county."
Brick's is one of three supermarkets located in and around Tunkhannock.
Dave Gay, of Gay's True Value Hardware, said he believes a SuperCenter would hurt the area's grocery stores.
"We have three good grocery stores," Gay added. "I don't know why we need another one."
Reynolds noted, "All I can do is be the best I can be at my business and hope customers appreciate a smaller business that is family owned. We try and get what our customers are looking for." On Wednesday, the planning commission is scheduled to look at plans for the SuperCenter. The meeting starts at 7:30 p.m. in the state department of agriculture building on Route 92.
