Walmart Opens First-Ever Celina, TX Store in April 2025

Walmart is opening its first-ever store in Celina, TX in April 2025, according to a report from USA Today, bringing the nation's largest retailer to one of the fastest-growing cities in the country for the first time.

The opening marks a notable retail milestone for Celina, a city that has seen explosive population growth over the past several years as development has surged along the US-380 corridor in Collin County. Until now, Celina residents have had to travel to neighboring cities such as Prosper, McKinney, or Frisco to access a Walmart location.

Walmart's entry into Celina reflects broader retail investment following the city's rapid residential expansion. Celina's population has grown from roughly 6,000 residents in 2016 to well over 40,000 in recent estimates, making it one of the top growth markets in Texas. That population base has increasingly attracted large-format national retailers seeking to establish a foothold in the area.

The specific address of the new Celina Walmart location was reported by USA Today but was not fully available in the sourced content at time of publication. The Celina Report will update this article with the confirmed address as details are verified.
