Wal-Mart Stores Inc., known for its oversized "supercenter" stores, is planning to open 10 new, mostly smaller locations in South Florida by the end of 2013.
Most of the world's largest retailer's new supercenters will be half to two-thirds the size of its typical large store format of 185,000 square feet.
Wal-Mart's growth is expected to add more than 3,000 full- and part-time jobs in South Florida. Supercenters typically have about 350 employees and smaller stores between 50 and 100.
A new North Lauderdale supercenter will be the largest to open at 182,000 square feet. The others will range from 92,000 square feet to 152,000 square feet, officials said.
