Wal-Mart to Open Grocery Store In Somerville

Wal-Mart, known for its giant mega-stores and low prices, is opening a grocery store in Somerville's Assembly Square, the Boston Globe reports.

The Somerville location will constitute Wal-Mart's first grocery store in the Northeast, according to the Globe.

The company is expected to move into the former Circuit City space on Mystic Avenue, the Globe reports.

What's coming to Somerville is not a typical Wal-Mart store, one of those huge warehouse-like places where one can buy electronics, tools, camping gear, clothes and almost anything else.

Rather, Wal-Mart Market, as the grocery store will be called, is strictly a food store.
