A subsidiary of Bentonville, Ark.-based Walmart purchased a 19.1-acre site at 8010 N. 124th St. in Milwaukee from The Boerke Company Inc. for $5.85 million, according to state records.
The site is where Walmart plans to build a new 135,000-square-foot Sam’s Club store. The site has an assessed value of $1.87 million, according to city records.
The new store will replace the existing Sam’s Club store located about 3.5 miles east at 7701 W. Calumet Road in Milwaukee.
The 124th Street site is currently vacant. It is bounded by Dretzka Park to the north and east. 124th Street forms the boundary between Milwaukee and Menomonee Falls. A Woodman’s store is located on the opposite side of 124th Street in Menomonee Falls.
