Walmart’s closed Vine City Supercenter in Atlanta, which was closed last year after a fire, is scheduled to reopen in May 2024 and will include an Atlanta Police Department substation, according to local news reports.
The location will be converted from a supercenter to a Neighborhood Market and reportedly be the first Walmart store based on that format to include a police substation.
Walmart’s decision to include a police facility in the store comes as shrink due to theft and organized retail crime continue to plague the grocery industry.
