OREANDA-NEWS. A relocated Walmart is opening Wednesday October 22, following a brief ribbon-cutting ceremony at 7:30 a.m. The new store is conveniently located at 990 N. Missouri Ave., relocated from 1111 N. Missouri Ave., and is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The store will provide Largo residents with low prices on a broad assortment of merchandise and offer Walmart's free Site to Store program, enabling customers to choose from nearly a million additional online items that can be ordered on Walmart.com and picked up at the Largo store for free, often as quickly as the same day.

The new store employs approximately 300 full- and part-time associates. Store manager Emmanuel Gilliam began his Walmart career in 1996 as an hourly associate. Gilliam is one of the many veterans that are employed by Walmart.

"We are excited to continue to offer top-quality customer service in our new location," said Gilliam. "Though some aspects are new, we will always be a convenient one-stop shopping option for the community."

Affordable Groceries to Meet All Your Needs

The new store offers fresh produce and a full line of groceries from all the leading brand names, including organic and natural selections. There is also a wide variety of meat and bakery selections perfect for a holiday meal.

In addition to groceries, the store features quality, value-priced general merchandise, including electronics and family apparel. In addition, customers can shop a broader assortment of items online at Walmart.com and then pay for these purchases with cash in all of Walmart U.S. stores and Walmart Neighborhood Markets, including the new Largo store.

The pharmacy offers a full range of products and services. Pharmacy team members can answer product and prescription questions and customers can ask about health and wellness solutions. Largo residents can easily transfer prescriptions and order refills on the go with the Walmart mobile app for iPhone and Android.

"This new Walmart in the heart of Largo is a welcome addition," said Tom Morrissette, president of the Central Pinellas Chamber of Commerce. "It has redeveloped what had been a blighted property and its presence will certainly enhance our opportunities for further development."
