Walmart’s newest Supercenter in Jacksonville, located at 10000 Omni Dr. in the growing Oakleaf community, officially opened with a community celebration that recognized long-term and new associates, as well as several organizations making a difference in the region.
The Jacksonville Supercenter closely follows the opening of a new Supercenter in Apollo Beach and a Neighborhood Market in Ocala last month. The new store represents another milestone in Walmart’s plan to build or convert more than 150 stores in the coming years, reinforcing its long-term commitment to modernizing retail, expanding access to essential services, and strengthening communities nationwide.
“Today is a proud moment for our team and the Jacksonville community,” said Store Manager Brian Jackson. “Thanks to the dedication of our associates, we’re opening a new store that brings fresh opportunities and growth to the area. We’re excited to serve our customers and bring a next-generation retail experience to this community.”
Along with a refreshed look and feel, the Jacksonville Supercenter offers a broader assortment across key categories and new ways to shop and save — all while staying true to the retailer’s Every Day Low Prices commitment. Walmart is blending the best of physical and digital to create a seamless omnichannel shopping journey – making it easy, fast and convenient.
The new Jacksonville store brings 400 new jobs to the region, offering associates meaningful opportunities that include tuition-free college from day one, flexible scheduling, and competitive paid time off. Beyond creating local employment, the store supports regional suppliers, contractors, and service providers—fueling economic growth across the Jacksonville area. As part of Walmart’s broader commitment to transforming its stores and strengthening communities nationwide, this Supercenter demonstrates how each new location contributes to lasting local impact.
“The opening of the new Walmart on Omni Drive represents a meaningful investment in our district’s economic growth and infrastructure," said Jacksonville City Council Member Randy White. “This project improves access to essential goods and services for nearby neighborhoods, creates local jobs, and reflects the continued development of the Omni Drive corridor. I appreciate Walmart’s partnership and the collaborative efforts that helped bring this project to fruition.”
To celebrate the new store, store associates and community members gathered for a ribbon-cutting ceremony and community celebration on February 4, including giveaways, a meet-and-greet with Jacksonville Jaguar legend Fred Taylor, entertainment from world renowned saxophonist and legendary rapper, DJ and producer, D-Nice, and a spring fashion showcase with a special appearance from Miss Shirley.
As part of the grand opening, Walmart recognized local organizations serving the Jacksonville area by giving Spark Good local grants to the following organizations:
Feeding Northeast Florida
Oakleaf Junior High
Police Athletic League
The Way Medical Clinic
Together, these local investments and the opening of the Jacksonville Walmart Supercenter — designed as part of Walmart’s Store of the Future concept — reflect the company’s commitment to serving local residents and supporting a strong, thriving community.
