MULBERRY, Ark., Nov. 5, 2014 – A new Walmart Neighborhood Market is opening Wednesday, Nov. 12, following a brief ribbon-cutting ceremony at 7:30 a.m. The new store is conveniently located at 3500 Mulberry Highway 64 W. and is open Monday through Saturday, 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. and Sunday 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. The store will provide Mulberry residents with low prices on a broad assortment of merchandise including fresh produce and meats, frozen foods, groceries and pharmacy.
Customers can shop additional items including top holiday toys, gifts, electronics and home decor on Walmart.com through Site to Store, which will offer free shipping to the Mulberry Walmart Neighborhood Market. They can also use Walmart’s new Savings Catcher receipt comparison tool to feel more confident they are getting some of the best deals available in Mulberry. Savings Catcher looks at other top retailers’ local ads and gives customers an eGift card for the difference if a competitor’s offering is lower than the price they paid at Walmart. Savings Catcher is available through the free Walmart mobile app.
“We are ready to cut the ribbon and invite the community into our store,” said store manager Maranda Zolliecoffer. “We have worked hard to prepare for grand-opening day.”

As part of Walmart’s and the Walmart Foundation’s $2 billion commitment to fight hunger through 2015, Walmart stores in Arkansas donated approximately 16.7 million pounds of food, in fiscal year 2014, or the equivalent of 13.9 million meals. Additionally, Walmart and the Walmart Foundation gave more than $79 million in fiscal year 2014 in Arkansas alone.
