Site work has begun for a Walmart Neighborhood Market in Derby, the seventh such market in the Wichita metropolitan area.

The store will be at 1106 S. Rock Road, near Chet Smith Avenue.

A $3.5 million commercial building permit was issued for the project, according to the city of Derby.

The store will be just more than 40,000 square feet, reports the city’s economic development direct, Allison Moeding.

The general contractor is The Law Company Inc. of Wichita. The architect is SGA Design Group of Tulsa.

The last Neighborhood Market to open in the metro area was at East 13th Street North and Oliver in Wichita in April.
