OREANDA-NEWS. October 13, 2015. The expanded Milpitas Walmart is opening Friday, Sept. 25, following a brief ribbon-cutting ceremony at 7:30 a.m. The expanded store is conveniently located at 301 Ranch Drive and is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The store will provide Milpitas 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 expanded Milpitas Walmart store for free, often as quickly as the same day.

The expanded store employs approximately 300 full- and part-time associates, approximately 80 of which were created by the expansion. Store co-manager Alivia Ybarra-Ricketts began her Walmart career in 2000 as an hourly associate in the produce department.

“With our bigger space, we are ready to meet an even larger amount of our customers’ needs,” said Ybarra-Ricketts.
