Nabholz Construction Corp. in Rogers recently paid the city of Springdale for a building permit valued at $11.8 million.

The permit is being used for an interior finish-out of a 130,000-square-foot building at 2008 S. Thompson St. in Springdale, just south of a Walmart Supercenter.

The building is owned by Walmart Inc. and was previously a layout center for Sam’s Club, the retailer’s warehouse club division. Before that, it was a Sam’s Club retail store.

Once the building renovations are complete, approximately 700 Walmart employees who are responsible for handling customer and store calls for the giant retailer will relocate from Bentonville to the new building.

The redesigned facility is expected to open in this spring. The new workspace will include a number of new amenities including a 24-hour associate fitness center, full-service café, training rooms and outdoor patios.
