Retail giant Wal-Mart expects to build another store in Cedar Park on the northwest corner of RM 1431 and Ronald Reagan Blvd, which will serve the residents of Forest Oaks well.
The 150,000-square-foot store will employ about 300 associates, said Kellie Duhr, director of public affairs and government relations for Wal-Mart.
Wal-Mart has not announced construction dates or a timeline for opening the store, she said. Cedar Park Director of Economic Development Phil Brewer said he is excited Wal-Mart chose Cedar Park as the site for another store.
“It obviously is an economic impact from a tax standpoint, from ad valorem and sales taxes generated,” he said. “Typically your big box stores like this are going to produce something like $80-$100 million in total taxable sales.
