A new Walmart Neighborhood Market is
opening Wednesday, Dec. 10, following a brief ribbon-cutting ceremony at 7:30
a.m. The new store is conveniently located at 1450 Monterey Road and is open 6 a.m. to 10 p.m., seven
days a week. The store will provide San Jose residents with low prices on a
broad assortment of merchandise including fresh produce and meats, frozen
foods, groceries and pharmacy.
“We couldn’t be more excited to welcome
Walmart into Sun Garden Center,” said Matt Mahood, president and CEO of the San
Jose Silicon Valley Chamber of Commerce. “Not only will the new store bring new
grocery options to residents living nearby, but it will also provide economic
revitalization by way of additional sales tax revenue for the county and
increased foot traffic from new shoppers.”
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 San Jose 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 San Jose. 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.
Fresh, Affordable Groceries
The new store offers fresh produce and a full line of groceries from
leading brand names, including organic selections. By working with growers
Walmart is able to provide farm-grown quality produce at added convenience and
low prices.
“Walmart is excited to be a part of the San Jose community just in time for the holiday season,” said store manager Harpreet Ruelas. “We have everything you need for your holiday meals and baking.”
The Right
Size Store Offering More Convenience
The new store is approximately 50,000 square feet and offers a wide
assortment to meet the needs of San Jose residents. In addition to groceries,
the store features health and beauty aids, pet products and cleaning supplies. Holiday
shopping is more convenient than ever as San Jose residents can shop an
assortment of 7 million items on Walmart.com, many of which can be shipped for
free to the new Walmart Neighborhood Market.
The pharmacy offers a full range of products and services and pharmacy team members are ready to assist customers with product and prescription questions. San Jose residents can easily transfer prescriptions and order refills on the go with the Walmart mobile app for iPhone and Android.
New
Store, New Jobs for San Jose
The new store employs up to 95 jobs full- and part-time associates.
Ruelas began her Walmart career in 1999 as an hourly associate.
