Wal-Mart to Open First Supercenter in East Bay

Wal-Mart is looking to expand its store into the company's first supercenter in the East Bay area of northern California.

ANTIOCH, Calif. — Wal-Mart is looking to expand its store here into the company's first supercenter in the East Bay area of northern California.

The city’s Planning Commission unanimously approved the project's environmental documents last week. The City Council will get involved only if the Planning Commission's decision is appealed.

The 33,575-square-foot expansion and remodeling would include a bakery, produce section, full-service deli and enhanced outdoor living department, bringing the total floor area to more than 175,000 square feet.

The expansion, if approved, would create 85 jobs, most of them full-time, company spokeswoman Angie Stoner said in a published report.
