includes a pharmacy with a full range of products, immunizations and services
and Walmart pharmacists ready to assist customers with product and prescription
questions. Clarksville residents can easily transfer prescriptions and order
refills on the go with the Walmart mobile app. A drive thru pharmacy window
makes prescription drop off and pick up quick and easy.
Millions of Items with Seamless
Digital and In-Store Shopping
The store
is approximately 41,000 square feet and offers a wide assortment of products to
meet the needs of Clarksville residents. Customers will find health and beauty

Job Opportunities at
Walmart
The store will employ up to 95 associates for full- and

Elementary School. The new store will
also continue a commitment by Walmart and the Walmart Foundation to fight
hunger in Clarksville and across the U.S. Walmart and the Walmart Foundation
recently exceeded a $2 billion goal to fight hunger one year ahead of schedule
and have donated more than 1.5 billion pounds of food to those in need across
the country.
