LUTZ — Wal-Mart has announced that its newest location at the apex of US 41 and Dale Mabry Highway is scheduled to open to customers in November.
Construction on the building is complete, and the retailer will spend the next few weeks transforming the new building, stocking shelves and preparing for the grand opening.
The new store is replacing the old Wal-Mart at 21703 Village Lakes Shopping Center, which originally opened in 1987.
After the move, the store plans to employ approximately 380 associates, including 240 positions created by the relocation. Many of the newly hired associates are now reporting to work to help prepare the store for its grand opening.
“We are excited about the new products and services we will be able to offer our customers,” said store manager Brandie Guderjahn. “We’ve been fortunate to have a loyal customer base and we look forward to providing an improved shopping experience.”
The store is still hiring full- and part-time associates to work in all areas. Interested applicants should go to the existing store at 21703 Village Lakes Shopping Center or apply online at http://walmartstores.com/Careers/7745.aspx.
