Walmart plans to make some big improvements at some of its stores across Texas. There are a lot of Walmarts in Texas, and many of them are in old buildings that need retrofits. At the same time, Walmart wants to expand to more locations, too. So, it’s going to start pouring money into the Lone Star State.
The retail giant says it will be investing an estimated $277 million in Texas in 2018. Texas is the largest market in the country for Walmart, and the company will be remodeling 45 of its stores here as well as launching several in-store and online innovations designed to deliver faster services.
Walmart is Upgrading Its Stores Across Texas
The following stores in the San Antonio area are on the remodeling list:
- 1515 N Loop 1604 E. – June 2018
- 8315 FM 78, Converse, Texas – July 2018
- 1381 S. Main St, Boerne, Texas- October 2018
- 8923 W Military Dr. – November 2018
Walmart remodeled its store at 8030 Bandera Road in March of this year. There are many more stores that are going to get this treatment soon.
The company says it’s testing new technologies to make shopping for its customers easier, including:
Expansion of Walmart’s Mobile Express Scan & Go and Online Grocery Pickup, in select markets, saving customers time and money;
Numerous Pickup Towers being installed across the state, including the New Braunfels location, which launched late last year. These towers allow you to pick up an online order in less than a minute by scanning a barcode sent to your smartphone. Additional towers in Converse, Texas; San Antonio and Kerrville, Texas are set to launch in summer 2018.
So, if you’re a Walmart shopper, keep an eye out for your favorite store improving significantly soon. It could make a major difference in your shopping experience!
