Wal-Mart Supercenter in south San Antonio is going to celebrate its grand opening at 7:30 am on Wednesday, April 19th 2006. Doors will open at 8 am.
The new south San Antonio Supercenter anchors City-Base Landing Shopping Center, a 63-acre retail project that is part of the area's redevelopment efforts. The store is located at 3302 S.E. Military Drive at the corner of Goliad Road on the northeast corner of Brooks City-Base.
Store Manager Donald Gary said, "Brooks City-Base is a premier public-private partnership that will have a tremendous impact on the quality of life in San Antonio for years to come, and we are proud to be a part of the area's revitalization."
"We worked closely with the Brooks Development Authority and local officials to create an atmosphere that supplements the neighborhood's distinct character," he added.
As part of a collaboration between Wal-Mart and community leaders, the store's exterior and landscaping have been specially designed to complement Brooks City-Base's distinctive architecture. The store features a red brick façade, extensive landscaping and minimal signage to allow it to blend in with the surrounding neighborhood.
"It's great to see such a renowned retailer arriving in this part of San Antonio," said Bexar County Judge Nelson Wolff.
"This new Wal-Mart Supercenter opening is a fantastic anchor for the City-Base Landing Shopping Center and wonderful shopping opportunity for the residents of the surrounding area. We are truly excited and welcome Wal-Mart to the Brooks City-Base community," he said.
