Brad Walters is living proof that the hourly jobs he’s offering at the Hixson Walmart Neighborhood Market can lead to bigger things.
Walters is manager of the 40,000-square-foot Hixson supermarket that opens Nov. 11 on the site of an old Food Lion in Highland Plaza at the corner of Hixson Pike and Ashland Terrace.
He got his start a decade ago as a part-timer.
