Is Walmart remodeling stores in Delaware? Here's what we know
Walmart is making a few changes to stores around the country.
The Bentonville, Arkansas-headquartered company announced plans to update and improve locations across 47 states as part of its "Stores of the Future" project. More than 650 locations will be remodeled this year, and the retail giant plans to build or convert more than 150 stores, it initially said in a January news release.
The major changes coming to most renovated stores will include:
New look: Bigger and "bolder" signage and displays.
More selection: Expanded departments with new items.
Expanded online pickup and delivery: To accommodate the increasing number of online orders.
Pharmacy layout: Wider aisles, new private screening rooms and private checkout areas.
New addition in Delaware: Merck to build $1 billion facility to produce cancer treatment drugs

Fact Check: Walmart heiress Christy Walton paid for NYT anti-Trump protest ad. Here's everything we know
Claim: Walmart heiress Christy Walton paid for a newspaper advertisement in The New York Times that promoted an anti-Trump 'No Kings' protest on June 14, 2025. Rating: As U.S. President Donald Trump's planned military parade to celebrate his birthday approached in June 2025, rumors circulated on social media that an heiress to the Walmart retail fortune, Christy Walton, paid for a full-page, anti-Trump advertisement in a newspaper. Christy Walton is a billionaire with a net worth of $19.3 billion, as of June 2025, according to Forbes, widow of John T. Walton, the son of Walmart founder Sam Walton. Users shared an image of the purported ad, featuring the Statue of Liberty and some text advertising a protest on June 14, 2025, on social media. The claim circulated widely on X (archived, archived, archived), Threads (archived), Facebook (archived) and Instagram (archived). Users sharing the claim included U.S. Rep. Anna Paulina Luna from Florida, who said, "the Walmart dynasty is big mad about China Tariffs." The alleged ad read: No Kings June 14 Mobilize We are a people of principle and honor. We honor our commitments and stand by our allies. We defend against aggression by dictators. We uphold and defend the Constitution. We care for veterans and children. We respect our neighbors and trading partners. We support a healthy national and international economy, community, and environment. We are the world leader trusted to uphold the stability of rule of law. We are the people of the United States of America. The honor, dignity, and integrity of our country are not for sale. Our government is of the people, by the people, and for the people. The bottom of the advertisement depicted a QR code leading to the No Kings website, along with the words "paid for by Christy Walton" and "the views represented here are solely those of Christy Walton." The claim is true. The ad ran in the Sunday, June 8, 2025, edition of The New York Times and can be seen on Page 9 of the paper, including the digital edition in addition to other papers nationwide. A spokesperson for the billionaire also confirmed to Snopes via telephone that Walton paid for the ad but has no official connection to the organizers behind the No Kings protest. The No Kings day of protest is described on its website as "a nationwide day of defiance" scheduled to take place on Saturday, June 14, 2025, which is flag day, Trump's 79th birthday and the date of the president's planned military parade. The No Kings website declared, "From city blocks to small towns, from courthouse steps to community parks, we're taking action to reject authoritarianism — and show the world what democracy really looks like. We're not gathering to feed his ego. We're building a movement that leaves him behind." While Walton inherited a 1.9% stake in Walmart following her husband's 2005 death, according to Forbes, a spokesperson for Walmart told Snopes via email that Walton has no involvement in the business. Walmart's full statement to Snopes read: We condemn violence, including when it's directed towards law enforcement, and the damaging of property. As a company with associates and customers in the Los Angeles region, we remain focused on their safety and that of impacted communities. The advertisements from Christy Walton are in no way connected to or endorsed by Walmart. She does not serve on the board or play any role in decision making at Walmart. Though Walmart's statement addresses violence at protests, it's important to note that nothing in the advertisement called for violence of any kind and did not directly address the ongoing protests against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in Los Angeles. Further, No Kings calls "nonviolent action" a "core principle" of their events. Its website's "about" page stated, "We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values and to act lawfully at these events. Weapons of any kind, including those legally permitted, should not be brought to events." Walton is a noted philanthropist and a review of her political contributions listed on the Federal Election Commission (FEC) database shows hefty donations to organizations like Planned Parenthood and The Lincoln Project, as well as former Vice President Kamala Harris' campaign for president. In September 2024, Bloomberg reported Walton co-hosted a fundraiser for Harris in Wyoming, where she lives. Further, the outlet wrote Walton was "one of the prominent Democratic donors who urged President Joe Biden to exit the race after his calamitous debate performance against Republican rival Donald Trump." Snopes reached out to the No Kings organizers and will update this article if we receive a response. "Browse Individual Contributions." Accessed 11 June 2025. McEvoy, Jemima.

Trump voters get smacked by inflation in shopping aisles — and some blame tariffs
Shoppers vote with their wallets – and even those who supported President Trump are having a tough time swallowing prices that are surging because of his trade war, The Post has learned. Omar — a Los Angeles-based long-haul truck driver who spoke to The Post on the condition his last name not be given — said he convinced his wife, grown children and father-in-law to vote for Trump last fall. His pitch: Trump was 'a businessman and everything was going to better because he was going to be good for the economy,' he told The Post in an interview. Since then, however, parts and services for his rig have gone through the roof. An oil change now costs $480 compared with the $360 he paid a year ago. He recently forked out $600 each for Firestone tires. Last year, they were $390 each. 'He's doing things that are making the economy worse,' Omar said. 'Tariffs are hurting everyone.' 8 Retailers have signaled that they will raise prices while some have already done so on some items. Reddit/Plus_Astronaut_420 On Wednesday, the US Bureau of Labor Statistics said inflation in May rose 2.4%. That was in line with the expectations of economists, who said the effects of Trump's tariffs still haven't had a broad and significant impact on prices. Some shoppers aren't buying it, as many of the the 40% of Americans who are living paycheck to paycheck see their purchasing power as vanishing. Retailers including Walmart, Dollar General, Target, Costco and Best Buy have warned they will be raising prices due to tariffs – and some have been caught doing it already. At Walmart, a 'Jurassic World' T. Rex figure had spiked by nearly 38% to $55 on May 21 from just a month ago. A heating pad costs 25% more $24.96 this year, according to employees who posted photos of the price hikes on social media. A fishing reel at Walmart jumped to $83.26 from $57.37. 8 A fishing reel at Walmart jumped in price this year, according to Walmart employees. Reddit/Majestickenny12 Joe — a regular Walmart shopper who also asked that his last name not be used — told The Post last week he was eyeing new air conditioners at the store in Cortlandt Manor, NY. Last year, he said, a small unit that cools off a 300-square-foot room cost $115 — up from $100 a year earlier. Now, that same unit costs $139. A resident of nearby Peekskill, NY, he adds that he's cooking at home more and cutting back on visits to McDonald's, Panera Bread and his favorite local diner — where a steak now costs $30 versus $22 last year — to about three times a month versus eight times a month last year. 'I don't like the fact that I'm paying more for the same thing that used to cost me less,' he told The Post. 8 Peekskill resident, Joe, says a small air conditioner at Walmart cost $115 last year– and this year it's $139. Google Maps Last week, Campbell's CEO Mick Beekhuizen said during an earnings call with analysts that the company is seeing 'the highest levels of meals prepared at home since early 2020.' Campbell's is selling more canned soup, Italian sauces and meals, Beekhuizen said as consumers choose 'ingredients that help stretch tighter food budgets.' As of April, prices on groceries and key household goods had risen by 56% during the past six years, according to a Gordon Haskett pricing study looking at 20 common items at a Texas Walmart store. Shoppers at that location paid $99.40 in April for the same 20 items that cost them $63.52 in April 2019, including a 111% increase for a two-liter bottle of Pepsi to $2.64, a 41% increase to $8.44 for 12 rolls of Angel Soft toilet paper and a 56% increase to $3.48 for a 20-ounce Heinz ketchup bottle. The pain has only increased in recent weeks, according to grocery store owners. 8 President Trump shows off a chart of tariffs on 'Liberation Day.' AFP via Getty Images 8 Walmart workers are sharing pictures of price hikes at stores around the country. Reddit/Nvalee A 10.8 oz box of Honey Nut Cheerios and a 9.6 oz box of Kellogg's Corn Flakes each went up by 50 cents since March to $5.99 at three Key Food stores in the New York metro area and Massachusetts, according to an owner, Anthony Pena. A 59 oz bottle of Tropicana orange juice meanwhile went up by 10% to $5.59 over the same period and bananas have risen by as much as 5 cents to 15 cents per pound in New York City. 'Our distributors don't tell us why the prices went up,' Pena added. 'They just post the new prices.' Milton and Nettie Hargrove, a retired couple living in Peekskill, NY, were out last week at a nearby Five Below buying candy – one of the few treats they allow themselves these days. They live on Social Security and have to budget carefully or they will wind up borrowing from friends and family to pay for food and gas, they told The Post. Meanwhile, southern states including Louisiana, Mississippi, Arkansas, Georgia, Texas, and North Carolina are 'experiencing some of the greatest consumer credit stress,' said Moody's economist Justin Begley. The 30-plus day delinquency rates on credit cards, auto and student loans in those states have all risen the most this year, according to Moody's data. 8 A 59-ounce Tropicana orange juice costs 10% more since March at several Key Food grocery stores. Tropicana 'A lot of people have been relying on debt to make ends meet,' said Richard Barrington, a financial analyst for Credit Sesame. Credit-card debt has grown at a faster rate than any other type of debt over the past 5 years. 'It's not like prices reset to where they were before,' Barrington added. 'They are still higher than they were and they are eating up a higher portion of people's budget.' While inflation has tracked lower than many economists expected, it could ratchet up to 4% later this year depending on what happens with tariffs, according to Moody's chief economist, Mark Zandi. 8 Honey Nut Cheerios is 50 cents more expensive since March at some Key Food stores. General Mills 8 Kellogg's Corn Flakes is 50 cents more expensive since March. Kellogg's Thanks to a 25% tariff on automobiles, new car buyers paid 2.5% more for their vehicles in April compared to March – or $48,699, according to Kelley Blue Book, which notes that a monthly increase that steep is 'rare.' Used cars ticked up by $367 to $25,547 over the same period. Older vehicles priced less than $15,000 are in 'short supply' as shoppers rushed to scoop up deals before tariffs kicked in, according to the Blue Book.
