New Walmart nears completion

Posted:

Rapid City's second Walmart store is just weeks from opening its doors.
 
The big box store is tentatively set to open on September 12th.

Construction crews are installing shelving and just last week the store received a temporary certificate of occupation from the city.

Anywhere between two to three hundred workers have been on the project, including thirty-eight subcontractors.

But people who live in the area are expressing concern over the increased traffic, and would that would mean for the safety of their communities.
 
"I'm concerned because so many children play out here, and it would be an easy escape if someone were kidnapped," said Julia Connors, who lives behind the new Walmart development.

Walmart representatives remain tight lipped about how many employees have been hired but a total of 300 are needed before the store opens.
