Wal-Mart continues to look for ways to differentiate its growing number of Neighborhood Markets within Northwest Arkansas, which is often a testing ground for all other stores. The newest Neighborhood Market located on North Walton Boulevard in Bentonville provides an updated example of the retailer’s “store-of-the-community” program that has been part of Wal-Mart’s DNA for many years.
Located roughly one-mile from the retailer’s home office and Supercenter No. 100 and another mile or so from the relatively new Neighborhood Market on Central Avenue, the newest Neighborhood Market is testing its own pizza service in the deli department at the back of the store.
Wal-Mart told The City Wire that take-and-bake pizzas are made fresh in that store and are available 24/7. Corporate spokesman John Forrest Ales said the store also offers made-to-order pizzas while customers wait. The shopper has the option of having it baked by Wal-Mart or simply wrapped for baking at home.
