Winchester, Virginia Welcomes its Third Walmart

One of the signs that an economic recovery is in the works is the presence of new construction projects.  When those construction projects are retail it's even better news.  When a company has done enough research to trust that the economy will support its business, that's good news for that community.

Winchester, Virginia is about to become the recipient of it's third Walmart.  When Winchester received it's first Walmart a couple decades ago no one knew the impact it would have in the community.  It was so successful that it warranted a second one on the opposite side of town to relieve the original location.  That original location was so busy that it did more business per day during the Christmas shopping days of December than the entire Mall did all month.  That's busy!

Walmart's local success has warranted another location.  Later this Fall, the third area Walmart will open, bringing great prices, more jobs and more attention to our community.  We're glad to have them here in the Shenandoah Valley, and we look forward to their continued success!

That IS great, Mike.  Just think of the jobs that place will create for your area.  People usually get excited about the convenience this will bring them in their shopping experience but the employment opportunites will really be great.  It's a good sign!

Mike, even though it is not the best paying employment concerning wages and benefits it is a good sign for your local economy.  This is good news for Winchester!

You bet, Will. Have a great day!

Hey, we'll take what we can get at this point, Bruce.  8-)  Our unemployment rate has been above 7% for nearly two years now.  I think the local folks are just thrilled to see anybody hiring.  Hopefully, some additional better paying companies will follow.
