EAGLE MOUNTAIN — A new Walmart Supercenter will be opening in Eagle Mountain later this year.
The western Utah County city is one of the fastest-growing cities in the state, with a population of 70,000. Eagle Mountain has just two major grocery stores: Macey’s and Ridley’s Family Market.
“This new addition marks a significant milestone in our city’s growth and progress. Walmart’s presence will not only provide convenient access to goods and services for our residents, but it will also create jobs and strengthen our local economy. We look forward to a successful partnership and a bright future together,” Eagle Mountain Mayor Tom Westmoreland said.
The 175,000-square-foot store is set to open in late summer at the corner of state Route 73 and Spring Run Parkway. Walmart will start hiring for approximately 300 jobs in May, the company said in a statement.
Much like others throughout the state, the new Walmart will have a fresh sushi kiosk, a “grab and go” section, a bakery, deli and dairy, fresh produce, clothing, health and beauty, a fuel station and more.
“We’re proud to bring a Walmart Supercenter to Eagle Mountain and to be part of this city’s incredible growth,” said Kevin Forsgren, Eagle Mountain Walmart store manager.
Infrastructure improvements and upgrades are planned to be installed along the roads to ease commercial activity the new store will bring, Walmart said.
“We look forward to providing a shopping experience that meets the needs of local families while creating meaningful job opportunities. We’re excited to build strong connections with the community and become a trusted partner in their everyday lives,” Forsgren said
