The Wal-Mart store opened in 2006 after Kate Quarrie council's decision to proceed in 2003.The resulting dispute outlasted several rounds at the Ontario Municipal Board and a ruling that the store would infringe on the contemplative tranquility enjoyed by an adjacent Jesuit retreat center, Loyola House. That issue disappeared when the developer reached a settlement with the center and promised to build a large earthen berm between it and the development.
Since then, the people voted with their feet by making the Wal-Mart one of the most successful stores in the province.
