Walmart

One of Wal-Mart's newest supercenters is designed to meet the needs of a diverse, multicultural community that includes many Middle Eastern shoppers, the retailer said yesterday. The 193,741-square-foot store, which opened yesterday in Dearborn, Mich., features bilingual employees, as well as foods from local supplier Tut's Imports, among other diverse products.

Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. is staying on the move this month. The Bentonville, Ark.-based chain said yesterday it plans to open 81 new stores and clubs across the country, with 73 of them celebrating grand openings this week.
