Greater Brandon Area Set To Welcome 2nd Walmart Neighborhood Market

Soon there will be a Walmart every 3 miles apart, from East Brandon Boulevard to Lithia Pinecrest Road, to Bloomingdale Avenue to Causeway Boulevard. The upcoming "Brandon No. 5622 Store" will be the area's second neighborhood market.
