Walmart Village is a concept for a new neighborhood to be built on property owned by Walmart on the beachfront of the Mississippi Gulf Coast. The project features a Walmart super center, main street retail, a neighborhood square, a five acre public park and family oriented beach activities.
The idea is to provide a home for local residents who wish to maintain their Gulf Coast culture and live within walking distance of a regional shopping center.
The village concept was conceived by Robin Riley in 2004 and presented to Walmart in April 2005 by Robin Riley, Pres Kabacoff, Robert C. Tannen and Marcel Wisznia. The original concept was for residential development on two decks over existing parking—flanking a retail main street. However, hurricane Katrina intervened and the concept has yet to be realized.
