Memorial Drive needs so much in the way of quality businesses and our community needs much in the way of revenues, I agree with Joe Arrington, it is a win win. I will be there shopping!

I am not a huge fan of WM. Being a native NY'er, WM is no where in the city or the boroughs of NY so it wasn't until I moved out here I even seen a WM. However it seems to be the "place" to get everythign from everyone I speak to. personally I shop there for food and school supplies now that my kids are in school. I don't like their clothes, and their household items are too costly, forget the home decor items, over priced in my opinion. for me TJ Max, Marshalls, or Ross is where the clothers are. But when it comes to groceries, yes they (WM) have my vote.
I also prefer biglots over WM any day for home decor, toiletries, housecleaning products and the like.

Hi Pauline and Teri, thanks for your comments. Teri, some of the stores you like have recently set up shop in Stone Mountain, albeit different parts....Ross opened this summer on Memorial Drive and there's a fairly new Big Lots on Rockbridge Rd. near Highway 78.

Hi Webb. Are you asking about where Ross is? 5220 Memorial Drive in Stone Mountain. The new Walmart will be on Memorial near the corner of N. Hairston Rd. in Stone Mountain.

The hiring center of the new Stone Mountain Walmart Supercenter opened April 10 at Georgia Piedmont Technical College and is taking applications through May 12.
Dan Fagan, manager of the new store at the intersection of Memorial Drive and South Hairston Road, said they are looking to hire 150 to 250 full- and part-time associates.
He said the bulk of applications will be taken at Walmart.com/apply, at kiosks in the hiring center and at nearby Walmart locations.
DeKalb Workforce Development also is screening applicants. Director Sheryl Chapman said there are plenty of computers for applicants to use to complete applications.
Fagan, a 23-year Walmart employee who relocated from Alabama to open store #3188, said the hiring center is open primarily for people who don’t have access to computers.
He told residents at an April 9 community meeting hosted by District 4 Commissioner Sharon Barnes Sutton at the Wade Walker YMCA that the new store is an excellent location.
He said he had visited the store, which is in the final stage of construction, and “everything is absolutely beautiful.”
“It will be the best store in North Georgia as long as I am there,” he said.
It says its full-time hourly associates make an average wage of $12.43 per hour
The hiring center is in Building D4 and buildings 219 and 220 on the Georgia Piedmont Campus, 495 N. Indian Creek Road in Clarkston. It is open 8:30 a.m. to 4:40 p.m. Monday to Friday.
