Fort Mill has another place to shop for food, and a good bit more than some might expect.

Wal-Mart Neighborhood Market holds its grand opening Wednesday. The 41,000-square-foot store at 500 N. Dobys Bridge Road could have up to 100 employees. The store is grocery-focused compared to a typical Wal-Mart location, but has household and other non-food items, too.

“We have a small selection of everything,” said Samantha Cochran, store manager. “You can get the basics of pretty much anything you need here.”

The grocery section fits what most customers would expect from the supercenter Wal-Mart format. Because the nearest Neighborhood Market is in Rock Hill, many in the area may not be familiar with one. Cochran said she’s heard confusion, including that grocery prices at the Fort Mill store will be higher than a supercenter.

“The prices are exactly the same,” Cochran said.

“It’s a key piece to making the Market (concept) successful,” Cochran said.

Pharmacist Tom Redmond said everything from drive-through service to off-site immunizations will help bring in customers. In-store immunizations will be offered, too.

“The biggest thing is our immunizations right now,” he said. “You can come in and get them right here.”

Another offering is pick-up service. Customers can purchase anything on walmart.com and have it sent to the Fort Mill store with no shipping charge.

“You can send anything to this store and pick it up,” Cochran said.

Saturday events will be planned in the weeks following the opening. A small retail building also remains under construction, where several businesses, including a restaurant, could follow Wal-Mart from across the parking lot. The new development there replaces a shopping center with a vacant anchor space for about a decade.

Cochran said with nearest Wal-Mart locations in Tega Cay and Indian Land, she looks forward to serving Fort Mill residents who were without a grocer in that space for so long.

“I think it’ll be a convenient middle point for a lot of people,” she said.
