What’s next for grocery retail? It’s a question on all of our lips, and one that Walmart is happy to answer. The retailer has a vision for its “Store of the Future,” and in order to enact that vision, the retailer is initiating a slew of strategic store updates across its San Antonio, Texas, footprint. Walmart noted that three locations in the region are set to receive major upgrades in 2025.
With an investment of roughly $750,000 per store, Walmart plans to enhance the stores through the expansion of its grocery pickup and delivery programs, expanded produce and deli sections, a new Grab & Go section, and a variety of new community-focused food and merchandise offerings.
Each remodel includes facets of the retail chain’s "Store of the Future," a comprehensive blueprint for entering the next era of grocery.
LMT Online reported that construction will run from April to July 2025 on the first two stores, followed by the third store in February through May 2025.
With over 4,800 locations across the United States, we’re left to wonder where Walmart will start slating remodels next.
Deli Market News will be on the case, so stay tuned.
