Walmart is in the process of renovating 20 of its stores in Georgia, including its Neighborhood Market on Browns Bridge Road, the beginning of a plan to give more than 600 stores nationwide a redo.
The stores are being remodeled into what the company describes as a “transformation into Stores of the Future.”
The upgrades will include “fresh displays” with “bold signage, expanded departments, and new items.” The stores’ pharmacies will be renovated to allow for wider aisles, and additional privacy measures like private screening rooms. The plan also includes expanding online pickup and delivery services.
Work has already begun on the Gainesville store, which is the only one in northeast Georgia on the list of 20 that has been released. In all, Walmart plans to renovate 650 stores nationwide this year.
