DECATUR -- A new Walmart Neighborhood Market is opening today following a brief ribbon-cutting ceremony at 7:30 a.m.
The new store is conveniently located at 154 E. Roller and is open 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Saturday and Sundays 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. The store will provide Decatur residents with low prices on a broad assortment of merchandise including fresh produce and meats, frozen foods, groceries and pharmacy. Customers can also fill up at the store's fuel station.
Customers can shop additional items including top toys, gifts, electronics and home decor on Walmart.com through Walmart pickup, which will offer free shipping to the Decatur 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 Decatur. 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 proud to offer residents of Decatur a convenient shopping location at Walmart's everyday low prices," said store manager Lora Randall. "We look forward to welcoming our customers on grand opening day and the days to come."

Giving Back to Decatur
The grand-opening celebration includes presentations of grants from Walmart to local community groups.
In addition to the grants given as part of the grand opening, the new store will further Walmart's pledge to fight hunger in America. 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.

A Big Family Welcome will give customers a chance to meet Randall and enjoy fun family activities such as face painting, cupcake decorating and free food samples while supplies last.
