Walmart will hire about 300 associates to work at the new Walmart slated to open this summer in Cheyenne.

A temporary hiring center has opened at 3575 E. Lincolnway. The new Walmart in south Cheyenne will be the city's second, joining an established store on Dell Range Boulevard.

The new store is located just north of Interstate 80 on Campstool Road.

Applications will be accepted Monday-Sunday from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Interested applicants may also apply online.

Through Walmart’s Veterans Welcome Home Commitment, the company will offer a job to any qualified veteran who has been honorably discharged within the past 12 months.* Interested veterans may find out more.

Walmart provides a benefits program to eligible full- and part-time associates. For example, it provides a variety of affordable health and well-being benefits including health-care coverage with no lifetime maximum.

Walmart also offers eligible associates matching 401(k) contributions of up to 6 percent of pay, discounts on general merchandise, an Associate Stock Purchase Program and company-paid life insurance.

The majority of new associates will begin work this summer to help prepare the store for its grand opening.
