Attention, shoppers

Don't mess with Wal-Mart.

At least not for commercial real estate.

The retail giant, according to a report from data firm CoStar, has added the most retail rentable building area/square feet in 2016 among all chains — and second place isn't even close.
Wal-Mart, through the second quarter, added 15.02 million square feet of new space nationwide, the report shows. Dollar General is the runner-up, with 6.53 million square feet of new space in 2016.
