Saukville Walmart Facelift Complete

Friends, family, customers and employees gathered early at the Saukville on Wednesday morning for a ribbon-cutting ceremony to celebrate the store's finished upgrade.

Several employees took the stage to offer thanks and other words about the opening, and one employee even played the national anthem on his trumpet.

The Walmart in Saukville originally opened 20 years ago, and Store Manager Adam Zaskrow was glad to see the redesign during it's 20th anniversary.

"This is moreso a family reunion today," he said. "The grand opening is about what we're able to offer new to our customers. The people in this community are wonderful. Thank you for your support and please, please take it for a test drive today."

Saukville Village President Barb Dickmann was present, as well as other village officials.

"I have to echo (the Walmart employees) that I, too, hope everyone shops in Saukville," she said.

Nine employees who have been with the store since it opened 20 years ago all held scissors and cut the ribbon.
