A sign has been posted and construction has begun on the new Walmart Neighborhood Market.
The market will offer a wide selection of groceries, a self-serve deli, bakery items, frozen foods, meat and dairy products and organic items, as well as some health and beauty products and a full pharmacy.
Located on Beebe Capps behind the Brick Oven restaurant, the market is expected to open sometime in the spring of 2013.
The market will provide an alternative to the Walmart on Race Ave. and bring more jobs to the Searcy area.
According to SearcyMatters.com, the Market is planning to hire approximately 90 full-time and part-time employees for the new store.
Details about exact opening dates should be available soon.
