Walmart ready to open Ogden store next week

A new 146,855 square-foot Walmart Supercenter will open next Wednesday at 1959 Wall Ave in Ogden. Of about 3,000 people who applied for jobs at the store, 285 were hired. The store is smaller than the Riverdale Walmart, which encompasses more than 220,000-square feet, but has most of the same amenities including general merchandise, groceries, pharmacy and garden center.
