Wal-Mart, Hazard, KY (1993-2004 look; now ARH Medical Mall)
This is the Wal-Mart department store located at 210 Black Gold Blvd in the Black Gold Plaza shopping center in Hazard, KY. It originally opened on April 3, 1989, and was remodeled and expanded alongside the Wal-Mart store in adjacent Whitesburg, KY. In doing so, this store not only received more sales space as well as a larger pharmacy (which the store has always had since its 1989 grand opening), but for a few years in the '90s, the snack bar was converted to a McDonald's restaurant (it would revert to a Radio Grill by 1999). Also, this store eventually adopted expanded hours due to continued success twice: from 2000 to 2002, it was open from 6:00 AM to midnight daily, and from 2002 onward, it would be open 24/7, one of the few non-Supercenters in the area at the time to have such hours. It would relocate to a Supercenter at 120 Daniel Boone Plaza in Hazard on April 15, 2004, leaving this building vacant until 2007, when Appalachian Regional Healthcare (ARH), which owns and operates the city's hospital, purchased the building and converted it into a large outpatient clinic.
