New Walmart opens Wednesday in DeKalb

A Walmart Supercenter will open Wednesday in the location of a former auto dealership near Stone Mountain.

The 152,000-square foot store, at 5935 Memorial Dr., creates about 300 new full- and part-time jobs. It will be open daily from 6 a.m. to midnight.

Residents in the area welcomed the retail giant even as those near a proposed Walmart in North Decatur battled against a store. That store has received necessary county permits for work to begin.
