It’s official — Walmart is coming to Arlington.

I just got confirmation that the superstore will begin construction on Monday, Jan. 25. According to Kristin Banfield, city of Arlington spokeswoman, the store will be completed by Sept. 20.

It is scheduled to open in by the end of October, Banfield said.

The new Walmart will be constructed on SR 531 (172nd Street NE) near  Arlington Municipal Airport.

I’m sure more details will come in the following days.
