## Story

Walmart has announced the opening of its newest Neighborhood Market location in Crestview, Fla.

Located on the north side of Crestview, the new 48,585-square-foot store was “designed around the needs of local customers, with fresh and convenient food options and flexible ways to shop,” the company noted in a statement.

The new Neighborhood Market also creates 166 jobs in the community and marks Walmart’s seventh new Florida store opening since September 2025.

“We’re proud to open our doors and begin serving the Crestview community,” said store manager Kwadwo Kyeremeh. “We have an incredible team that is ready to serve our neighbors and make this a place where customers can find the fresh food, everyday essentials and value they need, all close to home.”

The Crestview Neighborhood Market allows customers to shop in-store, through pickup or delivery, including Express Delivery in as little as 30 minutes.

The store’s design features wider aisles, clear signage and a streamlined checkout experience.

“Fresh food is at the center of the shopping experience,” the retailer’s statement continued.

Customers can find freshly prepared sushi, ready-to-eat meals, deli selections and fresh tortillas, in addition to a full lineup of grocery essentials.

The store’s pharmacy provides access to healthcare services, including prescription delivery, immunizations, medication counseling and consultations, and test-and-treat options for select conditions.

The grand opening celebration brought together local leaders, community organizations and performers throughout the morning. Crestview High School’s band, cheer squad and JROTC participated in the opening festivities, alongside culinary experiences featuring local and national chefs.

The new store continues Walmart’s investment in Florida. Over the past five years, Walmart has invested more than $1.5 billion in stores across the state, with 58 stores planned for remodels in 2026.

“We’re excited to welcome Walmart Neighborhood Market to the north side of Crestview,” said Mayor J.B. Whitten. “This is something our growing community has needed, and it will give residents a convenient place to shop close to home.”

As part of the grand opening celebration, Walmart awarded $18,500 in grants to six local organizations: Together We Thrive; Gulf Coast Council, Boy Scouts of America; Crestview Area Shelter for the Homeless; Saving Grace Women’s Home Florida; Crestview Police Foundation Inc.; and Crestview High School Band.
