What Walmart Is Planning at Tangerine and I-10
Walmart closed on the land in mid-December 2025, paying about $9.8 million in an all-cash deal for two blocks of Crossroads at Gladden, according to Real Estate Daily News and Pima County records reported by the Arizona Daily Star. The seller was Tangerine 2021 LLC, managed by Crown West Realty.
The Star reported that plans submitted to the town call for a 176,000-square-foot store and a fuel center. The Town of Marana's July 2026 development update lists a "Walmart Supercenter and Fuel Station (Tangerine Road & I-10)" among commercial projects in administrative, planning or engineering review. That means the project is moving through the town, but it hasn't reached the "under construction" list yet. The town notes that construction schedules are set by property owners and contractors, and Walmart hasn't announced one.
Why Northwest Marana Is Getting a Supercenter
Follow the rooftops. The store sits right across I-10 from Mandarina, where more than 2,500 homes are planned, and next to the fast-growing Gladden Farms neighborhood. Right now, a big grocery run from out there usually means driving south toward Cortaro or Ina.
The corner is already busy. The town lists Shamrock Foods, Ace Hardware, Taco Bell and U-Haul at Tangerine and I-10 as under construction or recently completed, and a Fry's is going up at the Gladden Farms Commercial Center down Tangerine. We covered the Shamrock side of that in Shamrock Foods Is Hiring in Marana.
One thing to know if you commute: the town is rebuilding the Tangerine Road interchange. It expects the underpass lane work to wrap up by March 2027, so expect cones on Tangerine for a while.
💰 What the Pay Floor Looks Like in Marana
Marana is its own town, so Tucson's higher city minimum wage doesn't apply here. The Arizona statewide minimum applies: $15.15 an hour through December 31, rising to $15.65 on January 1, 2027. Inside Tucson city limits it's $15.45 now and $16.00 in January. Walmart hasn't posted pay for this store, and the legal floor isn't the going rate, so check the posting when it goes live. Our 2027 minimum wage breakdown and Working in Marana and Oro Valley explain the line in detail.
