A New 55,000 SF Walmart Is Coming on Alico Road 🛒
Location: Alico Road, Fort Myers, FL
Category: Retail Development
Property Type: Grocery / Neighborhood Retail
Building Size: 55,000 SF
Expected Completion: January 2027
Traffic: 50,000+ Vehicles Per Day
A new 55,000 square foot Walmart Neighborhood Market is under construction along Alico Road in Fort Myers and is expected to open in January 2027.
Unlike a full-size Walmart Supercenter, this location is designed for quicker trips — groceries, pharmacy services, household essentials, and everyday convenience.
Why It Matters
The location is what makes this story interesting. Alico Road is becoming one of the busiest growth corridors in Fort Myers, with 50,000+ vehicles per day, direct access to I-75, and a growing cluster of retail and service businesses nearby. The Walmart is being built adjacent to The Home Depot and near other users including Starbucks, Heartland Dental, BluWave Car Wash, Wawa, and an incoming Chick-fil-A.
That concentration of major brands usually isn’t accidental. Retailers tend to follow traffic, jobs, rooftops, and population growth.
Market Takeaway
Walmart is another major daily-traffic driver being added to Alico Road.
For nearby property owners and investors, that can mean more demand for restaurants, retail pads, medical, service businesses, and commercial land.
With more jobs and development continuing around Alico Road and I-75, this corridor is becoming one of the areas I’d keep watching closely in Southwest Florida.
