In January, Walmart announced it would not reopen the Howell Mill location. The announcement was made shortly after the store was set on fire back in December.

Firefighters said someone intentionally set a fire in the men’s clothing section to create a distraction. The store was then temporarily closed, but Walmart decided to permanently close it.

The Vine City Walmart was also set on fire back in December just days apart from the Howell Mill fire. The Vine City Walmart reopened.

The Walmart on Howell Mill is open to the public to preview the items in the online auction that is happening right now. The store will be open until 4 p.m. Tuesday.
