New Walmart Offers VIP Sneak Peek (With Gallery)
August 4, 2014
The new Atmore Walmart held a “VIP” open house Sunday night to give local community leaders and employee families a sneak peak at the new 70,000 square foot store that opens this Wednesday.
The event included welcoming speeches from Walmart store manager Joe Ferguson and regional representatives, traditional dance performances by the Poarch Creek Indians, refreshments and a store tour.
The new Atmore Walmart will open after a brief ribbon cutting ceremony at 7:30 Wednesday morning. The store, which employees about 100 people, will be open 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Dear Concerned,
I dont see any walmart getting robbed because they are always so busy.
Ah, yet another walmart where there will be 20 lanes and only 6 open! lol.
I think you will soon see Winn Dixie R-U-N-N O-F-T. Atmore used to be a dynamic young town…. Now it seems old and tired. Not sure what happened or when?
Better do your shopping before dark. Bad location! Don’t like the thought of getting robbed.
Piggly Wiggly will likely be okay due to no tax on food. However, I do wonder about Winn-Dixie and Rameys.
Goodbye pigglywiggly, food fair, its been fun.
The young Indian girl’s traditional ceremonial ensemble is very interesting.
The Walmart should provide a remarkable shopping experience for some, as I expect to hear and read of.
Be aware, be prepared, be safe.
