MIAMI-A new Walmart Supercenter opened on Wednesday. The 154,4000-square-foot store is located at 4301 S. University Drive, and brought 300 new jobs to the area.

Cowboys on horseback served as greeters to celebrate the store's grand opening in "horse country." Davie Mayor Judy Paul and local organizations Davie Police Athletic League, Ease Foundation, Inc. and the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Southern Florida attended the grand opening ceremony. Walmart and the Walmart Foundation presented $3,750 in grants to Make-a-Wish.

“Davie is looking forward to Walmart's strong community commitment,” says Paul. “Walmart's campus is a tribute to Davie's mission of green space and will hopefully be a model for other communities. The employment of approximately 300 people, many local residents, will certainly help the area economy.”
