BOULDER – Wal-Mart on Monday announced plans to open a new store in Boulder, reviving the company’s efforts to have a presence in the city.

The company expects to open a new Walmart Neighborhood Market this fall in the Diagonal Plaza at 3303 30th St. According to the company, the 53,000-square-foot store will have from 65 to 95 employees.

The store will fill a long-vacant spot at Diagonal Plaza. The outlet will include a supermarket and pharmacy, a release from the company said. Walmart representatives were not available for additional comment Tuesday morning.

Empowering communities

Rocky Mountain Health Plans (RMHP), part of the UnitedHealthcare family, has pledged its commitment to uplift these communities through substantial investments in organizations addressing the distinct needs of our communities.

Wal-Mart Stores Inc. (NYSE: WMT) does not have a presence in Boulder. The Bentonville, Arkansas-based company has long tried to gain a foothold in Boulder, including a 2002 attempt to build a Supercenter at what was then Crossroads Mall. The company faced a protracted campaign from anti-Walmart advocates, including the Boulder Independent Business Alliance, according to Boulder County Business Report coverage from that time.
