BUSINESS WIRE<\/a>)–
\nWalmart today announced continued reinvestment across Utah, with plans in 2026 to remodel seven stores as part of ongoing efforts to modernize the in-store and digital shopping experience \u2013 upgrading layouts, technology, and services to offer faster, more convenient shopping and delivery in as little as an hour for most customers. These efforts reflect Walmart\u2019s commitment to supporting economic growth and strengthening communities statewide.<\/p>\n\nAcross Utah, Walmart\u2019s new and remodeled stores bring that vision to life through expanded services \u2013 like free Pharmacy delivery for Walmart+ members, including on GLP-1s \u2013 and a store-based app experience that helps customers easily navigate through stores, book services at Walmart\u2019s Auto Care Center, and more. The result is a more intuitive, convenient experience that helps customers shop how they want, when they want.<\/p>\n
\nNationally, Walmart is planning remodels at more than 650 Supercenters and Neighborhood Markets this year. Additionally, Walmart invested more than $294 million to upgrade stores throughout Utah over the past five years.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cWe\u2019re continuing to invest in Utah with a focus on how we can better serve communities across the state,\u201d said Jay Cordray, Senior Vice President, West Business Unit, Walmart U.S. \u201cBy modernizing our stores, we\u2019re making everyday shopping more convenient and creating a more connected experience, while empowering our associates to better support the evolving needs of our customers.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nEvery new store or remodel brings real benefits to the community \u2014 from construction jobs to long-term careers in retail, pharmacy and store leadership. Customers will notice the difference, too, with elevated brands like De\u2019Longhi, Oura, Jessica Simpson, and Lemme, and interactive displays that make it easier to picture how products look in their homes.<\/p>\n
\nThe transformed stores also feature updated pharmacies offering affordable medications, vaccines and other clinical services, with support from trusted pharmacists, and Vision Centers designed for greater privacy and convenience, offering brands like Nike, Calvin Klein, and DKNY, along with services like free cleanings and adjustments.<\/p>\n
Strengthening Utah Communities<\/b><\/p>\n
\nWalmart\u2019s impact extends well beyond its stores and into its communities. In Utah over the past year, Walmart and the Walmart Foundation have donated more than $25 million to local nonprofits, including providing 12.1 millionpounds of food to help fight hunger. In fact, the company just kicked off its annual Fight Hunger, Spark Change campaign to help address food insecurity locally. Every donation and qualifying purchase provides access to essential food and resources to local food banks in that area, empowering families to thrive.<\/p>\n
\nThrough locally led giving, store associates also supported education, disaster response efforts, and other community-driven initiatives \u2013 working alongside trusted local organizations to help build stronger communities across Utah.<\/p>\n
Looking Ahead<\/b><\/p>\n
\nAs part of the phased-approach, Walmart plans to complete remodels at stores in Utah throughout the year, including at the following proposed locations:<\/p>\n
