by Katie Lee

Bentonville, Ark. — Nationally, Walmart is planning remodels at more than 650 Supercenters and Neighborhood Markets this year, as well as opening 20 new stores in 2026 and early 2027. This investment is intended to create jobs, help strengthen local economies and make shopping faster and more convenient for its customers.

In early 2024, Walmart committed to opening or converting more than 150 new locations while continuing to update the stores in its portfolio. This year’s investment includes:

• More than 650 scheduled remodels to Supercenters and Neighborhood Markets

• Approximately 20 new store grand openings scheduled for 2026 and early 2027

Walmart has already opened several new stores this year, including Walmart Supercenters in Eastvale, Calif., and Apollo Beach, Jacksonville and The Villages, Fla.; and a Walmart Neighborhood Market in Ocala, Fla. More is planned for later this year, including an expansion of the Supercenter in Tucson, Ariz., and the opening of a new Supercenter in Celina, Texas. In 2025, Walmart opened nine new stores across Alabama, California, Florida, New Jersey, Texas and Utah.

New stores and remodels deliver meaningful impact from construction jobs during development to long term roles in retail, pharmacy and store leadership.

Across updated stores, customers may notice:

• Wider aisles and updated layouts

• Eye-catching displays and expanded assortments

• Expanded pickup and delivery services, including express delivery options

• Updated Vision Centers and Pharmacies with private consultation rooms

• New digital touchpoints helping bring our online assortment into the shopping experience

• Refreshed interiors and exteriors with modern signage, improved parking and landscaping

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 undergoing a rapid remodel program designed to deliver quicker results with minimal customer disruption.
