The Georgia Department of Labor will help Walmart fill about 250 openings at a new Covington store.

A hiring center at Prospect United Methodist Church at 6752 Highway 212 in Covington had its opening moved to Wednesday because of equipment issues, a Walmart spokeswoman said. It was originally planned for Monday.

Beginning Wednesday, the hiring center will be open from 8 a.m. until 4 p.m. weekdays through Jan. 31.

The Department of Labor said the company will be hiring full-time and part-time positions, including managers, supervisors, sales associates, cashiers, customer service representatives and grocery and stock clerks.

Applications can be found at walmart.com. When it opens, the new store will be at 4200 Salem Road in Covington.
