Walmart Cancels Plans For Kalkaska Store
Feb. 10, 2017
National retail chain Walmart is pulling out of its plans to open a new supercenter in Kalkaska.
Walmart spokesperson Anne Hatfield released a written statement saying that "after much deliberation, we have decided not to pursue development of a new store in Kalkaska at this time." Her statement continued: "We greatly appreciate the support of the community, Village of Kalkaska officials and others as we have worked through the development process. We are committed to serving customers in and around northern Michigan and look forward to continuing to innovate our services and invest in improving our existing stores throughout the region."
Walmart announced plans back in 2014 to open a 128,000 square-foot building with a garden center, pharmacy and gas station on US-131 near the intersection of Nash Road and County Road 612. Corporate officials stated the store would employ 300 staff members.
