I don't think we "beat" them....I'm sure they just found somewhere that was cheaper to set up shop. I think we just made this endeavor too costly.

Very well done Lilith. It takes a lot to stand up to any company.

While you might be happy that it is over and you can all relax, you and your community should work on by-laws, and land use plans so that no one else can / will try to build there again.

By hats off to you and your group.

Yay!!!!

well done lil *squeezes* :hug:

And they are back here fighting to put a store in again.
