The two new Neighborhood Markets make for a total of six Walmart stores in Murfreesboro alone. When you include Smyrna and LaVergne, the total number of Walmarts comes in at seven throughout Rutherford County.

Each neighborhood market is 41,000 square feet in size. The Walmart Super Stores are a little over 200-thousand square feet in size.

At the end of this month (January), 154 Walmart stores across the United States will close their doors for good. In Tennessee, a Walmart Neighborhood Market in Nashville will close along with four smaller Walmart Express stores in Middle Tennessee.
