BROWNSVILLE, TX-Ground will break soon on a 204,000-sf Wal-Mart Supercenter beside Strawberry Square Center.

The exact date of the ground-breaking has not been announced, but “Wal-Mart expects to have the new store operating within the next year,” says Chuck Siegel, president of NAI-Rhode, Ottmers Realty Services of San Antonio.
