Walmart Neighborhood Market coming to North Stafford

A Walmart Neighborhood Market will be built in North Stafford.

The store will set next to a Sheetz gas station under construction on the corner of Garrisonville and Furnace roads. The Stafford County Board of Supervisors approved a special use permit to allow the store to have a drive-through window to allow customers to drop off and pick up prescriptions at the store's pharmacy.

This is the first Walmart Neighborhood Market in the region, said Judson Honaker with Silver Companies, the developer of the site. Walmart was interested in placing the store at Garrisonville and Furnace roads due to a large number of surrounding houses, he added.

Site planning is underway now. Construction will begin in spring 2016, and the store should open later in the year. The store will be located across the street from an office and retail park on Tech Parkway.

In addition to a pharmacy, the store will also offer a grocery pick-up service for customers who call ahead. Customers will be able to pull into the parking lot and pick up their grocery orders waiting for them at the front of the store.

The developer proffered a 10,000 square foot park to be built on the property or offered to donate $25,000 to the Stafford County Parks and Recreation Department. Honaker said county officials opted for the park to be built outside the Walmart store.

Walmart Neighborhood Markets are popping up in more urban areas across the U.S. The store offers many of the same items a larger Walmart store does, only in a more compact space.

The store is expected to create more competition for grocery stores like Food Lion, Giant Food, and Shoppers Food Warehouse.

Inspired by local physicians who were among the nation’s first to adopt the concierge medicine model, Northern Virginia is now a hub for its surging popularity. These leading physicians are redefining the patient experience with same-day appointments, direct availability, unhurried visits, and deeply personalized care:

After almost 40 years in practice, Manassas-based Internist John Cary, MD’s change to concierge medicine enabled focused attention for each individual, and the launch of his innovative diet program for those with type 2 diabetes. “The goal is to promote enough weight loss to reach an acceptable A1C of 6% with no medication,” he explains. “Achieving that can take several months of very close follow up. As I tell my patients, we are in this together.”

Jay Tyroler, MD considers his patients quite literally as family. “I believe there’s nothing more honorable than helping patients when they’re sick, or scared, or feeling vulnerable, and I care for them exactly as I would my loved ones.” Whether for a specialist referral, urgent health issue or ongoing follow up, “My patients know I’m always just a phone call away.”
