MANOR,
Texas, Feb. 12, 2014
– A new Walmart will open Wednesday, Feb. 19, after a brief
ribbon-cutting ceremony at 7 a.m. The new store at 11923 U.S. Highway
290 E. is conveniently located and is open 24 hours a day, seven days
a week. It will provide Manor residents with one-stop shopping
convenience for their grocery and general merchandise needs. The
store also offers pharmacy services.
One-Stop
Shopping Convenience
The
store features quality, value-priced general merchandise, including
apparel, electronics, toys, sporting goods, and lawn and garden
items. It also offers a full line of groceries, including organic and
natural selections in addition to local favorites. One local product

Community
Giving
The
grand-opening celebration also includes presentations of $8,000 in

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 Texas donated approximately 43.7
million pounds of food, in fiscal year 2013, or the equivalent of
36.4 million meals. Additionally, Walmart and the Walmart Foundation
gave more than $86.2 million in fiscal year 2013 in Texas alone. For

New
Store, New Jobs
The
new store employs approximately 200 full- and part-time associates.
Store manager Michael Lopez began his Walmart career in 2000 as an
assistant manager.
“We
are excited to open the new Supercenter here in Manor and are looking
forward to maintaining strong relationships with the community and
exceeding our customer’s expectations,” said Lopez. “We would
love for everyone to come to the grand-opening and enjoy vendor
giveaways and promotions.”
