Walmart opened its first Eastvale Supercenter at 14100 Limonite Ave. on Jan. 14, 2026, cutting the ribbon on a full-service store the company says will bring roughly 300 new jobs to the area. The grand opening recognized store leadership and the new store team and packaged hiring news with a slate of shopper-facing features and standard associate offerings.

The company characterized many of the roles as full-time associate opportunities that include competitive pay, comprehensive benefits and training pathways. Walmart highlighted its core employee programs such as medical, vision and dental coverage, 401(k) plans, an employee stock purchase program and career-advancement tools including access to Live Better U, the tuition and training initiative the retailer has used to promote internal mobility.

The Eastvale Supercenter features expanded grocery and fresh offerings, an on-site pharmacy with low-cost prescriptions, a Vision Center, a fuel station and digital shelf labels intended to speed pricing updates. Walmart also emphasized faster delivery and pickup options aimed at convenience-focused shoppers. Those store-level investments tend to shift work patterns behind the scenes, increasing demand for stocking, fulfillment and order assembly roles as same-day pickup and delivery volumes grow.

Walmart paired the hiring and store opening with community engagement activity, providing grants to local organizations as part of the rollout. That combined message—jobs plus local giving—is a typical play for large retailers seeking to anchor a new location while projecting goodwill to shoppers and municipal leaders.

For workers, a new Supercenter can mean more full-time opportunities in a market where retail hiring often skews part-time. Access to benefits and training programs can improve retention and give associates clearer progression paths into department manager or distribution roles. Operationally, the emphasis on digital shelf labels and quicker fulfillment workflows signals that some hourly roles will require new skill sets or training in technology-enabled tasks.

The Eastvale opening is part of Walmart’s continued expansion of Supercenters and its broader strategy to blend in-store services with faster omnichannel fulfillment. For local job seekers, the store represents immediate hiring opportunities and potential entry points into Walmart’s national training and education programs. For associates already at nearby locations, the new store could change staffing flows as the company balances labor across stores and fulfillment channels.
