Grand Opening is scheduled for November 11 at which time the local store will present a sizeable donation to one of the community’s local non-profits. Included in the new store opening will be six weekends of visits from various celebrities to the stores for meet and greet opportunities. Hiring for this new facility is anticipated at 300 people and should begin in 45-60 days.
Walmart is eager to be a part of the community and will be very active participants in our many community and Chamber events.
