Construction has begun to expand the Walmart at East Speedway and North Kolb Road into a Walmart Supercenter.
The store will stay open throughout the expansion work, which will add 63,000 square feet, bringing it to a total of 189,000 square feet.
Scheduled to be finished on March 15, 2016, the construction will modernize the store, which first opened in 1989, and add a full grocery department. The store currently has limited grocery offerings.
Once it’s a Supercenter, the store also plans to hire another 150 workers to its current 300.
