Walmart opens two new Neighborhood Markets

Walmart is launching two new new Neighborhood Markets, one in Santa Rosa Beach, Fla., and the other in the Vine City neighborhood of Atlanta.

The Neighborhood Market format is a smaller size which first launched in 1998. Earlier this year, Walmart committed to open or convert more than 150 stores over the next five years.

The format of the stores is also now bigger. With 57,000 square feet of salesfloor and pickup and delivery space, the new stores will have a footprint that’s about 17,000 square feet larger than the average Neighborhood Market. The stores will also have wellness features like a Mother’s Room and a Health Services Room.
