Sacramento County welcomed a new Wal-Mart branch just south of the city limits at 5915 Gerber Road. Opening day was on November 18, exactly one year after the county issued the building permit for construction of the 132,000 square-foot store.

This branch of Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. will offer a fully-stocked grocery store, in addition to all the other products usually found in Wal-Mart. Silvio Garbarino is the store’s manager.

The new Wal-Mart will employee about 300 people, both full-time and part-time, and is located where the Champions Golf Links golf course was before it shut down its operations several years ago.
