Walmart has started the hiring process for the 240 positions the company needs to fill at its new Fort Collins location, set to open this spring.

The new store, located on the southwest corner of Harmony Road and College Avenue, is hiring for both full- and part-time positions, as well as supervisors. The majority of the new employees will start in March to prepare for the store's grand opening.

Walmart has set up a temporary hiring center for applicants to apply for jobs at 4637 S. Mason St., Suite A2, open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Friday and 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturdays. Applications can also be completed online at careers.walmart.com.

The new store's manager, Jeff Plumb, started working for Walmart as a grocery department clerk at an Oklahoma location in 1998.
