Walmart remodeling over 650 stores in 2025: See list of some locations receiving makeover
Walmart is bringing "stores of the future" to most U.S. states in 2025. The Bentonville, Arkansas-headquartered company announced its plans for updating and improving locations across 47 states as part of its "Stores of the Future" project, which will see more than 650 locations be remodeled this year. In addition to the remodels, the retail giant plans to build or convert more than 150 stores, it initially said in a January news release. Besides making the shopping experience more streamlined for consumers, Walmart said its new stores will be more sustainable due to their use of energy-efficient equipment and lighting, as well as electric vehicle fast-charging stations. Here's what we know so far about Walmart's remodeling plans. In an announcement about the remodeling, Walmart said it will implement service and infrastructure changes to make shopping more convenient and enjoyable through "improved layouts, expanded product selections and innovative technology." The brand also said the projects will create "tens of thousands of jobs" and entail "investing" in American communities. 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 shared a list of stores that will be remodeled across five U.S. states: North Carolina, Virginia, New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. While more than 650 locations across 47 states and Puerto Rico will ultimately be updated, a Walmart spokesperson told USA TODAY they could not share a full list of locations. Here are 104 of the 650-plus Walmart locations that will get a remodel this year: 5070 Fayetteville Rd, Lumberton 935 Blowing Rock Blvd, Lenoir 200 Watauga Village Dr, Boone 201 Zelkova Ct NW, Conover 4102 Precision Way, High Point 6711 Nc Highway 135, Mayodan 1001 N Green St, Morganton 125 Bleachery Blvd, Asheville 273 Commons Dr, Franklin 483 Us Hwy 70 SW, Hickory 973 N Harrison Ave, Cary 304 E Arbor Ln, Eden 2820 Gillespie St., Fayetteville 5611 W Friendly Ave, Greensboro 3310 Nc Highway 87 S, Sanford 90 W Us Highway 64, Lexington 8660 Cliffdale Rd, Fayetteville 9820 Callabridge Ct, Charlotte 2985 E Elizabethtown Rd, Lumberton 11233 B Nc 55 Hwy, Grantsboro 901 Nc Highway 16 S, Taylorsville 1050 Alamance Church Rd, Greensboro 3141 Garden Rd, Burlington 201 Montgomery Xing, Biscoe 2415 Springs Rd Ne, Hickory 2794 Hickory Blvd, Hudson 2420 Supercenter Dr NE, Kannapolis 1300 Dallas Cherryville Rd, Dallas G120 Morganton Heights Blvd, Morganton 323 S Arlington St, Salisbury 6645 Highway 70, Newport 120 S Odom Rd, St. Pauls 8800 East W T Harris Blvd, Charlotte 1624 Nc 14 Hwy, Reidsville 930 Highway 711, East Pembroke 1347 W Broad St, Elizabethtown 177 Forest Gate Dr, Pisgah Forest 1525 Glenn School Rd, Durham 5039 University Pkwy, Winston-Salem 2107 Pyramids Village Blvd, Greensboro 3850 E Independence Blvd, Charlotte 4670 Casey Blvd, Williamsburg 5700 Hopkins Rd, North Chesterfield 13059 Fair Lakes Parkway, Fairfax 2141 Dale Ave, Roanoke 1211 W Broad St Ste A, Waynesboro 1451 S Main St, Blackstone 200 Old Fairgrounds Way, Kilmarnock 13320 G.C.

JE Dunn, Nabholz tapped for proposed $825M Arkansas prison
This story was originally published on Construction Dive. To receive daily news and insights, subscribe to our free daily Construction Dive newsletter. Award: State prison Value: $825 million Location: Franklin County Client: Arkansas Board of Corrections Nabholz Construction and JE Dunn have been tapped to build a proposed $825 million, 3,000-bed prison in Franklin County, Arkansas, that would be one of the largest public investments in recent state history. The Arkansas Board of Corrections voted to approve the contracting team made up of Conway, Arkansas-headquartered Nabholz and Kansas City, Missouri-based JE Dunn on Thursday. The goal of the project is to address prison overcrowding at the state as well as county level, according to the project website. It would house minimum- to maximum-security inmates. Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders announced the purchase of the 815-acre property in the Vesta community just outside of Charleston to host the prison in October 2024. However, the state has not yet secured funding for the project, and a bill to appropriate up to $750 million for the prison failed multiple times in the Arkansas State Senate earlier this year, according to 40/29 News. Many Franklin County residents have pushed back on the plans, citing insufficient infrastructure, challenging topography, a lack of workers and fear of declining property values in the area. Opponents have questioned the Board of Corrections' $825 million price tag estimate. In March, an amendment to a failed appropriations bill would have established a restricted reserve fund allocating $1 billion for the project, 5 News Online reported, while Gravel & Grit, a nonprofit created to oppose the project, pegs the total cost at $1.5 billion, not including infrastructure upgrades. Nonetheless, the Corrections Board is using $75 million that had previously been appropriated for prison construction to move the process forward, the Arkansas Advocate reported May 15. In October 2024 the Corrections Board also approved a $16.5 million contract with Sacramento, California-based Vanir Construction Management to oversee the project, and picked Omaha, Nebraska-headquartered HDR and Cromwell Architects Engineers of Little Rock, Arkansas, for the design in April. For now, the state is conducting further environmental studies on the prison site, according to the project website. A cultural resource study is also likely to be undertaken to look for cultural and historic artifacts after members of the Chickamauga Nation recently warned that ancestors could be buried there, Axios reported last week.

Walmart set to overhaul more than 650 stores in major upgrade
Walmart has revealed its ambitious plan to remodel hundreds of its retail locations across the United States and Puerto Rico this year, as part of a sweeping, multimillion-dollar investment initiative. As one of the most influential retailers in the U.S. – serving nearly every American household multiple times a year, according to DemandSage – Walmart's store revamp is expected to significantly enhance the shopping experience for millions. The upgrades aim to deliver 'improved layouts, expanded product selections and innovative technology' that will make visiting the stores 'more convenient and enjoyable.' The Arkansas-headquartered company initially shared its intentions in January, declaring its commitment to 'investing in America' through modernizing stores, opening new locations, and generating employment opportunities. The current remodeling project spans more than 650 stores in 47 states and Puerto Rico. Alongside this, Walmart plans to build or transform over 150 new stores within the next five years. These efforts, part of the company's 'Store of the Future' vision, are expected to generate 'tens of thousands of jobs supporting these projects,' Walmart confirmed. Shoppers can expect redesigned interiors featuring 'big, bold signage,' a broader product range, enhanced options for pickup and delivery, wider aisles, and private areas for pharmacy transactions. Texas will see the largest share of updated stores – 67 in total – including several in San Antonio, Houston, and the Dallas-Fort Worth region. California follows with 56 locations, such as San Jose, Sacramento, Mountain View, Bakersfield, and Modesto. North Carolina will have 41 remodels in places like Charlotte, Cary, and Asheville. Florida has 34 stores on the list, with two brand-new stores opening this year. Other states include Georgia (20 stores), Illinois (11), Michigan (14), New York (23), Ohio (23), New Jersey (4), and Pennsylvania (26). Nick Berkeley, Senior VP for Walmart's Southeast Business Unit, added: 'Our stores often serve as the heartbeat of the communities we operate in, and these remodels are a testament to our dedication to enhancing that role. By investing in our stores and associates, we are not only improving the shopping experience, but also reinforcing our commitment to being a vital part of the community's fabric, helping to build a brighter future for all.' CEO Doug McMillon also weighed in during a February earnings call: 'The work we're doing to expand our assortment is another reason for our growth, as more customers are finding what they're looking for.'
