Royal City Centre’s much-anticipated tenant is now hiring, but it’s still unclear when the new Walmart location will actually open its doors to the public.
Near the end of June, American-based retail giant Walmart posted its first job opening for the new Royal City location in Uptown. The posting, for a full-time assistant manager, was the first in a steady stream of postings advertised on Walmart’s website. Positions available include: customer service manager, overnight stocker, backroom associate, bakery associate, sales associate, the list goes on.
But the question that remains unanswered more than a year-and-a-half after Walmart confirmed it was opening a second location in New Westminster is, when is the new store going to open?
The Record contacted management at Royal City Centre, but no one could say when the new Walmart was opening. After multiple attempts to speak with someone at Walmart, the Record is still waiting to hear back about the grand opening.
Meanwhile, construction continues at Royal City Centre as it prepares for its new tenant. Walmart will be taking over the former Zellers location.
