Walmart holds grand reopening in Athens, donates thousands to charity
ATHENS, Ohio — The Walmart Supercenter on East State Street held a grand reopening ceremony Friday, which the store capped off by donating thousands of dollars to local charities.

Along with Walmart employees and management, local dignitaries, including Mayor Steve Patterson, Athens City Police Department Chief Nick Magruder and Athens County Sheriff’s Office Sheriff Rodney Smith were in attendance. Robin and Jimmy Burrow, parents of Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow, and members of the board of directors of the Joe Burrow Foundation also joined the ceremony.
