KERNERSVILLE, NC (WSLS) - The grand opening of a Walmart Neighborhood Market in North Carolina offers a sneak-peek of what people can expect from the stores coming to Roanoke in the coming months.

Three Walmart Neighborhood Markets are coming to Roanoke, which will create around 95 new jobs at the 41,000 square-foot locations. There will be three built here. One on Dale Avenue, Orange Avenue, and another on Plantation Road.

The stores will also create tax-revenue through investment and economic growth.

Locations for Neighborhood Markets are chosen based on need and the area. They are strategically placed in specific neighborhoods or communities. 

"We're a true neighborhood market," says Debbie Troy, store manager at Kernersville location. "We're surrounded by neighborhoods and this is very convenient for the customers coming here."

The one in Kernersville is in an area with several housing developments nearby. The idea is someone is able to walk over and get their groceries or other necessities conveniently.Â
