Havelock NC Gets a Wal-Mart

Shoppers who live in the Havelock area and members of the MCAS Cherry Point community now have another option for shopping in Havelock.

Wal-Mart has opened a store near the "back gate" of MCAS Cherry Point on US 70. This neighborhood store has groceries as well as the usual merchandise you are used to finding in the big "box" stores.

Until the store opened in Havelock the closest Wal-Marts were in New Bern, about 20 miles or Morehead City about 18 miles.

This store is also very convenient for the communites of Stately Pines and Carolina Pines which are about 4 ans 3 miles respectively west of the Havelock Wal-Mart.

For military families, the Commisary on board MCAS Cherry Point provides great shopping (cost plus 5%surcharge) for active duty, retired, reservist and other qualified shoppers.

However, with this local Wal-Mart now open, they now have another choice as the Commisary is closed on Mondays.
