On April 16, Walmart announced its plans for remodels and new locations in markets across the country. A total of 650 remodels is planned, along with 20 new store locations this year and early into 2027.
“This year, we are making a significant investment in our stores across the United States, reinforcing our commitment to the communities we serve,” the Bentonville, Arkansas-based retail giant said.
“This investment is intended to create jobs, help strengthen local economies and make shopping faster and more convenient for our customers.”
Remodeled stores feature wider aisles, updated layouts, expanded assortments and new digital touchpoints that connect online inventory with the in-store experience, according to Walmart.
Vision centers and pharmacies are receiving private consultation rooms, while stores are getting refreshed interiors and exteriors with modern signage, improved parking and landscaping. Expanded pickup and delivery services – including express delivery options – also are part of the upgrades. 
Many Neighborhood Markets are receiving expanded deli and hot bar selections, improved lighting and fixtures, pharmacy delivery options and upgraded areas for fulfilling online grocery orders.
Select Neighborhood Markets are part of a rapid remodel program designed to deliver quicker results with minimal customer disruption.
