Walmart customers in Fayetteville were welcomed inside the newly transformed Neighborhood Market at 970 Strickland Bridge Road in Fayetteville last week as the much-anticipated project is now complete.
The store’s associates marked the occasion with a ribbon-cutting ceremony and community celebration. The event was attended by local North Carolina organizations including representatives from the City of Fayetteville, the Robynn and Alizah Kollie Foundation, EB LYFE Community Services, BeU Nonprofit, the Step by Step Foundation, and the Second Harvest Food Bank.
During this last week’s celebration, Walmart store manager Melinda Borom highlighted the Neighborhood Market’s transformed departments as well as the new interactive features now available to customers, including:
