A new, state-of-the-art Walmart Supercentre is officially coming to Montreal’s Marché Central.
According to a press release, the 140,000 sq ft store will feature “sustainable features,” including a 125,000 sq ft green roof.
It was also announced that the new Walmart Canada branch is part of the retailer’s larger commitment to the Montreal area.
“Montreal is an extremely important market for us and we’re incredibly excited to be growing in Quebec and offering even more shopping options for our customers,” says Cyrille Ballereau, Walmart Canada Regional Vice President for Quebec.
This commitment includes remodeling stores with a sustainable focus in mind. The company says that the Walmart Marché Central Supercentre will have a number of new features, including;

At the new Marché Central location, Walmart will hire roughly 300 people and invest approximately $20 million in renovations. The store is set to open in the summer of 2023.
