New Brownsville Walmart Opens for Shoppers
OREANDA-NEWS. A new Walmart is opening Wednesday, April 22, following a brief ribbon-cutting ceremony at 7:30 a.m. The new store is conveniently located at 2205 E. Ruben Torres Sr. Blvd. and is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The store will provide Brownsville residents with low prices on a broad assortment of groceries and merchandise, along with a full service pharmacy. Walmart is making shopping more convenient than ever as local residents can shop for more than a million additional items online on Walmart.com and pick them up at the new Brownsville Walmart store for free, often as quickly as the same day.
The new store employs approximately 300 full- and part-time associates. Store manager Pete Munoz began his Walmart career in 1993 as an hourly sales associate in the toys department.
“We are excited to join the Brownsville community this spring,” said Munoz. “We provide a convenience and a product variety that will make for a pleasant shopping experience for our customers.”
Fresh, Affordable Produce, Meat and Groceries
Brownsville customers will find meal and entertaining essentials, 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. There is also a wide variety of meat and bakery selections, including fresh baked breads and tortillas.
Convenient Local Pharmacy and General Merchandise
In addition to groceries, the store features quality, value-priced general merchandise, including electronics, furniture, home decor, automotive, sporting goods, home improvement and more.
The pharmacy offers a full range of products and services. Pharmacy team members are ready to assist customers with product and prescription questions. Brownsville residents can easily transfer prescriptions and order refills on the go with the Walmart mobile app for iPhone and Android.
Community Giving
The grand-opening celebration includes presentations of \$3,200 in grants from Walmart to local community groups. Recipients of grants include Urban Science Initiative Inc., Gonzalez Elementary School, Texas Community Action Program and Special Olympics Texas.
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 Texas donated approximately 59 million pounds of food, in fiscal year 2014, or the equivalent of 49.2 million meals. Additionally, Walmart and the Walmart Foundation gave more than \$110.8 million in fiscal year 2014 in Texas alone.
