Another new Walmart store will soon hold a grand opening in Rutherford County. The latest store is in La Vergne, Tennessee.

"We are overjoyed to have Walmart open here, and I am happy that the citizens will have the option to save money and shop smart here in La Vergne. I can't wait to cut the ribbon so residents can start shopping," said Mayor Dennis Waldron.

Walmart had been eyeing La Vergne as a potential site for some time, and now citizens can finally see the finished product. La Vergne Alderman Calvin Jones, who is on the planning commission, has played a major role on getting this project off the ground. Jones stated, "Being a neighbor to a growing city like Nashville has motivated us to keep La Vergne transitioning into an economically booming city."

City Planner Kristen Costanzo, who also serves on the city Economic Development team, says, "One of our goals was to make the location convenient for residents." Located just off Murfreesboro Rd, the new Walmart Supercenter is hard to miss -- with 186,000 square feet, this Walmart will be larger than the nearby store in Smyrna. Major features include a deli, pharmacy, and an expanded section of Hispanic spices in the food department.

The Walmart in La Vergne will mark Walmart number 8 in Rutherford County. That number includes the two new Walmart Neighborhood Markets that opened earlier this year in Murfreesboro.

Mayor Waldron invites La Vergne residents to attend the ribbon cutting and dedication on August 24th at 7:30am.

Total Walmart Locations in Rutherford County:

There are six Walmart stores, including Neighborhood Market locations in Murfreesboro alone. When you add Smyrna and now LaVergne to the mix, the total number of Walmart's comes in at eight throughout Rutherford County.
