Shrewsbury, MO Walmart opens September 23, 2015

At long last, I found the date that the Shrewsbury, MO Walmart at Kenrick Plaza opens: September 23, 2015. I know a lot of people have asked me about this over the past year, as this blog, for some reason or another, is pretty much the only source of information about this Walmart on the Internet!

Here are a couple pictures from last week:

This is the front of the completed Walmart building, with a completely empty parking lot. I'm guessing this will be a rare sight, judging by every other Walmart I've seen.

[Update: The Walmart should open on September 23. Here are more recent pictures from the development.]

In October, I gave an October 2014 update Walmart redevelopment at Kenrick Plaza in Shrewsbury, MO. Since it's been about six months, I figured I'd post another little update here, along with some pictures I took of the land, which now has the main Walmart structure in place, and is finally taking shape!

View of the half-finished entrance, turning right from Watson Rd. (westbound). So far it's hard to see how pedestrian access will be routed, and where bus stops will be located (especially with the temporary access road in place), but the new sign is a bit larger than the old sign, and so far just has 'First Bank' listed.

As a resident of the City of Shrewsbury for the past 10 years, and someone who lives within walking distance of the old Kenrick Plaza development that was basically in ruins until it was torn down this year, I've taken a keen interest in the Walmart-anchored redevelopment that is being financed through TIF.
