Arizona State University will be home to the newest Walmart on Campus concept store, company officials announced today. Scheduled to open in May, the store is part of a pilot program designed to provide ASU students and faculty, as well as the surrounding neighborhood, more convenient access to affordable products. The first Walmart on Campus opened at the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville in January 2011.
“Walmart on Campus is a small-format test store that allows us to bring our low prices to students in a convenient location. With a full-service pharmacy, basic grocery, financial services and Site-to-Store, Arizona State will be able to enjoy many of the great services they would at our larger formats without leaving campus,” said store manager Mario Espino.
The ASU store, to be located in the Vista del Sol plaza, will also feature health and wellness services, general convenience items and merchandise tailored to the campus, all at Walmart’s everyday low prices.
