OREANDA-NEWS.The relocated Booneville Walmart is opening Wednesday, March 11, following a brief ribbon-cutting ceremony at 7:30. The relocated store is conveniently located at 1400 E. Main St. and is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The store will provide Booneville residents with low prices on a broad assortment of groceries and merchandise, along with a full service pharmacy. Walmart is making shopping more convenient than ever as local residents can shop for more than a million additional items online on Walmart.com and pick them up at the new Booneville Walmart store for free, often as quickly as the same day.

The new store employs approximately 200 full- and part-time associates. Store manager Galen Dahler began his Walmart career in 1989 as a co-manager.

“Our new location will allow us to continue to provide our customers with a pleasant shopping experience,” said Dahler. “We are ready to invite the community inside our new store.” 

Fresh, Affordable Produce, Meat and Groceries
Booneville customers will find meal and entertaining essentials, fresh produce and a full line of groceries from leading brand names, including organic selections. By working with growers, Walmart is able to provide farm-grown quality produce at added convenience and low prices. There is also a wide variety of meat and bakery selections, including fresh baked breads.

Convenient Local Pharmacy and General Merchandise
In addition to groceries, the store features quality, value-priced general merchandise, including electronics, furniture, home decor, automotive, sporting goods, home improvement and more.

The pharmacy offers a full range of products and services. Pharmacy team members are ready to assist customers with product and prescription questions. Booneville residents can easily transfer prescriptions and order refills on the go with the Walmart mobile app for iPhone and Android. 

Community Giving                    
The grand-opening celebration includes presentation grants from Walmart to local community groups.

In addition to the grants given as part of the grand opening, the new store will further Walmart’s pledge to fight hunger in America. As part of Walmart’s and the Walmart Foundation’s \$2 billion commitment to fight hunger through 2015, Walmart stores in Arkansas donated approximately 16.7 million pounds of food, in fiscal year 2014, or the equivalent of 13.9 million meals. Additionally, Walmart and the Walmart Foundation gave more than \$79 million in fiscal year 2014 in Arkansas alone.
