Original story (July 9, 2014)

For a little over a month now rumors have been swirling around the internet about a Neighborhood Walmart opening in Atascocita. I can now confirm, the rumors are true.

Construction has just started on a new Walmart Neighborhood Market at 12312 Will Clayton Parkway, near the intersection of Timber Forest Drive in Atascocita.

“The Neighborhood Market is all about convenience.” Says Anne Hatfield, Director of Communications for Walmart. “The smaller size, easy parking access, drive-thru pharmacy make this a perfect footprint for quick trips, but we’re still able to offer customers the same low prices they see at our larger format stores.”

Walmart Neighborhood Markets average 38,000 square feet – that’s about one fifth of the size of a typical Walmart Supercenter.
