WALMART REMODELING IN N. TEXAS
Walmart will be spending some money — $264.9 million to be exact – this year in Texas to remodel 54 stores, including 16 in North Texas. The updates will include changes to accommodate new initiatives such as grocery pickup and delivery as well as technology updates such as pickup towers, basically high-tech vending machines for online orders.
“It’s an exciting time to be a Walmart customer, especially here in DFW,” said Sonya Hostetler, Walmart vice president and regional general manager. “As we continue to roll out more innovations in our stores, we are offering families new ways to save time and money in communities throughout North Texas.”
Among the stores affected are the McCart Avenue location in Fort Worth and the Bedford store at 2108 Bedford Road.
