SAN RAMON -- City leaders have learned that Walmart's construction division is accepting bids for making property improvements that would pave the way for a "neighborhood market" store in San Ramon.

Marc Fontes, the city's economic development director, revealed this in a news release Friday.

Tenant improvement plans previously submitted by the owners of the vacant grocery store space in the Country Club Village Center in south San Ramon were approved by the city, but the identity of the owners' prospective tenant was not given.

"It would now appear that a Walmart neighborhood market is the likely tenant for that space," Fontes said.

No one from Walmart has contacted the city about plans to lease space and open a San Ramon grocery store, which would be a permitted use for the existing vacant retail space. The Walmart neighborhood markets are much smaller than Walmart super stores and focus on groceries.
