OREANDA-NEWS. April 30, 2015. Virginia Commonwealth University will be home to the newest Walmart on Campus concept store. Scheduled to open Wednesday, April 29, the store is part of a pilot program designed to provide VCU students and faculty, as well as the surrounding neighborhood, more convenient access to affordable products. The first Walmart on Campus opened at the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville in January 2011, and three more have opened in states across the country. The new Walmart on Campus is located at 912 W. Grace St.

The approximately 4,100-square-foot Walmart on Campus features a pharmacy and offers groceries and general merchandise, including an assortment of fresh produce, dairy and meats, dry goods, consumables, health and beauty aids, over-the-counter medicines and merchandise tailored to the campus.

The pharmacy offers a full range of products and services. Pharmacy team members can answer product and prescription questions and customers can ask about health and wellness solutions.

Store manager Tanya Holmes began her Walmart career in 2009 as a Money Center cashier.  

“I am excited to bring this store to the VCU community,” said Holmes. “Students and area residents will have a new way to save money and live better.”
