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:
“This remodel is not only an investment in the store but also in our customers and city,” said
Borom in a press release. “I’m proud of our associates for their hard work and for getting us to the finish line; we look forward to exceeding our customers’ expectations as we continue to serve the Fayetteville community.”
To reinforce Walmart’s dedication to the communities it serves, the store manager presented $4,000 in grant money to local nonprofit organizations, including:

Big T’s has been a local favorite of Hope Mills since 2000 when Timmy (Big T) and Donna Gray first opened right on Hope Mills Lake. It is a seasonal restaurant, so many of Big T’s loyal customers were happy to hear they would now be open year-round, seven days a week.
