Arizona State University (Tempe, Ariz.) will be home in May to the newest Walmart (Bentonville, Ark.) on Campus concept store, part of a pilot program, company officials announced Thursday. The first Walmart on Campus opened at the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville in January 2011.

“Walmart on Campus is a small-format test store that allows us to bring our low prices to students in a convenient location. With a full-service pharmacy, basic grocery, financial services and Site-to-Store, Arizona State will be able to enjoy many of the great services they would at our larger formats without leaving campus,” stated store manager Mario Espino, in a press release.

The ASU store, approximately 5093 square feet in size, will also feature health and wellness services, general convenience items and merchandise tailored to the campus.
