New Westminster News Leader – Small-sized Walmart for RCC: Mayor.

Walmart will be the new anchor tenant at the Royal City Centre according to New Westminster Mayor Wayne Wright.

The mayor dropped the tidbit during a state-of-the-city address to a chamber of commerce luncheon at the Columbia Theatre on Wednesday. Wright said it would be one of the chain’s smaller outlets.

Earlier this year, the Royal City Centre applied for a development permit to build an atrium-style entrance off Sixth Avenue to service a new anchor tenant in the space vacated by Zeller’s in 2006.

Wright also revealed he is in discussions with an Indy-style kart racing circuit to run an electric kart race through Downtown New Westminster. The karts, he said, would race up Columbia onto Sixth Street, down Clarkson Street and circle back to Columbia via Begbie Street.
