SAN ANTONIO — Wal-Mart Stores Inc. next fall will open its third Neighborhood Market in San Antonio.

The Bentonville, Ark.-based retailer confirmed plans to open one of its smaller format stores at the intersection of Guilbeau and Tezel roads on the Northwest Side. Wal-Mart said construction would begin in January, and architectural records filed with the state show the 41,000-square-foot store will open in October 2014.

The new location will create nearly 100 jobs, a company spokeswoman said. Construction will cost about $4.8 million, according to the state records.

The 9006 Guilbeau Road store will follow the opening of the city's first Neighborhood Markets at Military Drive and Hunt Lane and another location on the southwest corner of Ellison Drive and Marbach Road. Those stores will open in the second quarter of 2014, Wal-Mart said.
