Project description: Wal-Mart spokesman Dan Morales said the store is part of Wal-Mart’s plans to bring four Neighborhood Markets to the city. Combined, the new stores will bring roughly 360 jobs Springfield. At about 40,000 square feet apiece, Walmart Neighborhood Markets are designed for quick access to grocery items, with spacious aisles, easy parking, quick check-outs and pharmacy drive-through lanes, Morales said. The new store on South Glenstone Ave. will carry a full line of groceries, including produce, frozen foods, meat and dairy products, and organic items. Morales said its in-store deli would offer hot rotisserie chicken and freshly prepared foods.
