An expansion of the Brick Walmart store will add 85 jobs, according to a company spokesman.
The township council on Tuesday night approved a measure that will allow the store to complete indoor construction work during the night time hours by granting a waiver of the township's noise ordinance. The store has already as well as other permits to begin the process of expanding the store by just over 30,000 square feet.
Bill Wertz, a Walmart spokesman, told Brick Patch that the company will expand its current 116,000 square foot general merchandise store to to a 150,000 square foot Walmart Supercenter.
The transition from a traditional store to a Supercenter will add a supermarket and a fast-food restaurant to the location.
"We’ll have a full line of groceries, including meat, fresh produce and deli items; also a garden center pharmacy, vision center and a McDonald’s," Wertz said.
Wert said the project will add 85 jobs and should be completed in spring 2013 barring any unexpected delays.

I can tell you before I moved to NJ I used to drive 10 miles to shop at the Walmart Supercenter. Their prices are the best, of course we didnt have any shop-rites close by just over priced Stop & shops & A&P. I agree with other comments I used to shop a lot more at Pathmark before A&P bought them out prices & selection have suffered. They have the most overpriced deli too.
The only reason that people buy there is because they don't have the money to spend thanks to the plutocracy planet that people like you live on. 6 Waltons(owners of Walmart) now have more wealth than the bottom 30% of Americans. You are living in the me me me world of corporate greed and you don't even know it. You say go to college and get a better job? What jobs? You can thank the politicions who are puppets for these big corporations starting with Romney. If you didn't also know, Walmart is a major contributor to ALEC,that is really trying to destroy what is left of the middle class.
Ex.Wal-Mart encourages employees to apply for public assistance programs like Medicaid that are meant to be last resort safety net options, while Wal-Mart continues to bilk American taxpayers for millions in health care costs. http://www.campusprogress.org/articles/ten_things_wal-mart_doesnt_want_you_to_know
The government subsidization of health care for Wal-Mart employees is just the tip of the iceberg. Wal-Mart routinely uses taxpayer money to finance its never-ending corporate growth. A report commissioned by the House Committee on Education and Welfare estimates that a two hundred person Wal-Mart store costs federal taxpayers approximately $420,750 a year, or $2,103 per employee. These costs include: -$36,000 a year for free and reduced cost school lunches, -$42,000 for Section 8 housing assistance, -$125,000 for low-income family tax credits and deductions, -$100,000 for additional Title I expenses, -$108,000 for state children’s health insurance expenses, and -$9,750 for low income energy assistance http://www.campusprogress.org/articles/ten_things_wal-mart_doesnt_want_you_to_know
""A vast majority of [Wal-Mart's] groceries, household goods and health and beauty products are made in the United States," he said. Scott Paul, executive director at the Alliance for American Manufacturing, said Duke's comment is more complicated than it seems. "I'm not going to dispute that Wal-Mart's product mix has changed to favor more groceries and household goods," said Paul, adding that most of those products are sourced in America. " Basically, since theyre expanding the grocery department, theyre INCREASING the amount of American made goods, which already comprises the majority of their sales. In other words, the exact opposite of what people have been saying.
