Walmart customers in Alexandria were welcomed inside the newly transformed Supercenter at 6711 Alexandria Pike as the much-anticipated project is now complete. Creating omni-channel shopping experiences that save customers time and money, Walmart continues its transformational journey to become America’s favorite place to shop whether in-store, online or via the mobile app.
Walmart associates marked the occasion with a community celebration featuring a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Friday, national vendor samples and giveaways, mascots, a National Anthem performance by Associate Kimiah Mayes, and the unveiling of a community-inspired mural.
