BENTONVILLE, Ark. — Wal-Mart Stores here has launched a new website — WorkforMarketside.com — to recruit employees for the new small-format stores it plans to open later this year in the Phoenix area. "Marketside associates are enthusiastic people with a passion for fresh and delicious food," the website says. It also says Marketside will offer a “fun, fast-paced, small-store environment." It describes the stores as "the neighborhood market for busy people with a taste for fresh and delicious food. We simplify the daily challenge of creating an enjoyable meal by providing inspiring choices while also offering everyday favorites at great prices in an easy-to-shop environment. Marketside is dedicated to helping our customer answer the question, 'What's for dinner?'" The site lists job openings for managers and assistant managers in Chandler, Gilbert, Mesa and Tempe, Ariz. The stores, which are expected to open in the fall, will reportedly cover 15,000 square feet each and is said to be Wal-Mart's answer to Tesco's Fresh & Easy Neighborhood Market.
