MANCHESTER, NH (MyFoxBoston.com) -- A New Hampshire man is protesting against retail giant Walmart after he said construction associated with a new store has destroyed his front yard.
Daniel Gryseels has signs protesting Walmart staked in his yard at the corner of Bow Street and Brown Avenue in Manchester after fighting with the company for nearly two weeks.
"Walmart's a big company and they seem to get what they want, at the expense of the residents in this area," Gryseels told FOX25.
"They should at least give me consideration and courtesy of what they were gonna do. I've had no notice, and that was upsetting to come home and find my yard vandalized," Gryseels said.
"There is no eminent domain, they have no right to go on my property," Gryseels said.
"I stood there, hoping I could slow them down from doing it, to compensate me for the damages they did to my property," Gryseels said. "They drilled in front of my face, nobody cared about my safety. They allowed it to happen and I was shocked at that."
In a statement, a Walmart spokesperson said, "We have been working with the homeowner since this matter arose, and we have addressed his concerns. We look forward to completing construction now and opening next year to serve Walmart customers in Manchester."
"It's more about doing the damage in the process of getting what they want, and not reimbursing me," Gryseels said.
