Wal-Mart, 5754 Kyle Parkway, Kyle, will open March 25. The 156,000-square-foot store is the first in Kyle. In addition to shopping for groceries, customers will find a garden center and tire and lube department at the store. The city of Kyle and Wal-Mart were in discussions for several years before the project got underway, officials said. In 2013, former Mayor Lucy Johnson said she expects the store to generate sales tax revenue, which could potentially ease the property tax burden on the city's residents. 512-268-1451. www.walmart.com. Twitter: @walmart Wade Lin said he plans to open Sakura Steak and Sushi, 117 Meiners St., San Marcos, this summer.
