Walmart Launches Website to Attract Northbrook Residents

Walmart has published their analysis and findings to back up their request to develop a Northbrook store.

The local speakers at last week's public input meeting for a Walmart at 1000 Skokie Blvd. got to be pretty loud. But Walmart hasn't quit on the conversation just yet. 


An action center website for the proposed Northbrook Walmart offers the company's logistic analysis of the property and community, as part of their pitch to build a shop in east Northbrook. 

According to the Walmart site:
  • Walmart will generate new revenues of approximately $2 million annually for the Village of Northbrook School Districts #225 and #28, Northbrook Library Fund and Northbrook Park District.
  • A Walmart store will create approximately 300 jobs, more than 50% of which will be full-time. Walmart’s average wage in Illinois is $13.16 with competitive benefit packages available to all associates.
  • Walmart will provide local residents with new shopping choices close to home.
