January 16, 2008 Wal-Mart opened a new Wal-Mart Supercenter at 2100 N. 62nd Street in Ft. Smith by Kelley Hwy.  This Supercenter replaces the Wal-Mart that was located on Midland Blvd. and was open for 25 years.  The new relocation added approximately 137,032 square feet to the store and several new additional services and products.  The new store also brought an additional 255 New Jobs to the area. 

"Wal-Mart brings in a significant amount of traffic and customers, and they are all captured in that location, so everyone wants to get a piece of that action." Fort Smith Planning spokesman Wally Bailey said.  McDonald's has already committed to additions in the area.  It's a very convenient location and the city has started work on the expansion of the Kelley Hwy bridge.  Please expect some traffic delays and congestion's. 

With the opening Wal-Mart also made $25,000 in donations to Local Charitable Organizations!!!
