MERRILL - Walmart to replace Merrill store with SuperCenter

By Daniel Burkwald

Wal-Mart announced plans Tuesday to build a new 24-hour SuperCenter store in Merrill that will add more than 100 jobs and provide a tax boost to a community that has one of the highest unemployment rates in the state. Pending city approval, construction is slated to begin this summer on a new, 120,000-square-foot Walmart store at the corner of Pine Ridge Avenue and Highway 64. The new, 24-hour store with full grocery and pharmacy, scheduled to open next year, will be across the street from the current 73,800-square-foot store at 3500 E. Main St. that opened in 1989. The current Walmart will remain open during construction.
