This morning, city officials and staff were invited to take part in the ribbon cutting of the newly remodeled Walmart store. City Manager (and former manager of Walmart Store 5422) Roy Oliver was asked to speak to the group on what an achievement this store remodel has been for their customers, Walmart associates and our region.
It has long been a goal of our local officials to brand Bainbridge as a regional shopping hub and this store remodel, combined with the opening of the first Wawa and Rural King stores in Georgia and the announcement of Publix, have proven that to be complete.
