"Don't be Related to Walmart" Flash Mob in Time Warner Center, NYC
The Related Companies are in talks to lease Walmart space to build its first ever store in New York. If the deal goes through Walmart is believed to have plans to build at least 100 more. Related never asked New Yorkers how we felt about opening the floodgates for one of the world's worst employers to take over our city. So we put on a surprise song and dance routine at their corporate headquarters to let them know.
