Atlanta Walmart considers adding police substation when it reopens
- The Atlanta Walmart Supercenter that was temporarily closed due to suspected arson is set to reopen in mid-2024, with the possibility of housing an Atlanta Police Department substation. The reopening comes after Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens vowed to reopen the store to ensure access to fresh, affordable food for residents of the area.
- The addition of a police substation inside the store is part of Walmart's efforts to collaborate with law enforcement and support the community. This comes at a time when the retail industry is facing mounting losses due to organized retail theft, which has totaled $100 billion nationwide.
- The reopening of the Vine City Walmart Supercenter will be as a smaller Neighborhood Market, and it will be the first to include a police substation. The station will primarily serve as a workspace for law enforcement, aiming to deter shoplifting and other crimes in the area.
