The mood was festive, party-like and celebratory as Walmart Store 1910 on Washington Blvd in Crescent City and General Manager Miguel Mata welcomed customers and associates to recognize the first major remodel in 12 years. Mata proudly exclaimed Friday’s recognition was “ …our second best day ever.” The inference to “…the second best day, ever” followed the Grand opening of the Store, in 1992. Colorful and delicious Walmart cupcakes were a big favorite at the Grand Re-Opening.
