This is for people that have experienced the construction of a Wal*Mart Supercenter, and it's taken almost a year and it looks like they haven't gotten very far (I heard there was water under the Wal*Mart so they had to fill the wet spaces with dry cement and my Dad says the Lowe's crew will switch over to the Wal*Mart Supercenter once it's done). I want to know how long it took in your area or an area you've moved out of to have a Wal*Mart Supercenter built there.

Took over 4 years here. They could not get the ground level enough just to LAY the concrete.

I work for a Walmart Supercenter in Iowa. We just opened our supercenter on June 14th, so it is still a pretty new building. Before the grand opening of our supercenter, we were a regular division 1 Walmart store. I have been employed there for 5 years, so adjusting to working in a supercenter is different, but I really like it. We had to open a supercenter because a regular division 1 store could not compete with neighboring Walmart supercenters in nearby cities. Where I live it is getting more and more difficult to find anything but a supercenter. But I really like our new supercenter and I really like the increased selection. I will probably be giving Walmart half of my paycheck right back to them when I do all my shopping there. Gotta love Walmart.

I work for a Walmart Supercenter in Iowa. We just opened our new supercenter June 14th. It took less than a year from ground breaking to grand opening. I think that most of the time they plan 9-10 months from start to finish, assuming that they don't run into any complications or snags.

Wal-Mart built their closest store where I live in a shopping center that used to have a Montgomery Ward's years ago, that closed before Ward's went out of business. Their remodel of the center prior to opening was about 1 1/2 years.

I don't know about the one that I'm at, but the one that I transfured from (it was remodeled into a supercenter about 4 years ago) they are remodeling it again. Yes you read it right. They are remodeling it again. They say they are fixing the plumming in it and doing this and that. Why? The "pluming that they are fixing is in the part of the store that was built as part of the remodel. No wonder they can't pay us better. They have to spend the money that should be used to pay us to "fix" things that should have been done in the first palce.

Our walmart supercenter went up in 2 and a half months. The ground was already solid and most of the concrete was already laid as a result of the stores that were preveiously demolished.

They built a Super Walmart a year ago a few miles away. It replaced a regular one. It took about 4 months to build.
