Walmart plans to remodel 29 stores in SC this year. Here’s where and how
Walmart plans to remodel 29 stores in South Carolina this year, including the store on Garners Ferry Road in Columbia and four stores in Myrtle Beach.
A news release said the Arkansas-based retail giant will upgrade layouts, technology, and services “to offer faster, more convenient shopping and delivery in as little as an hour to most customers.”
Also on the list, which the company said may be modified as the year goes on are Irmo on Dutch Fork Road and Cayce on Knox Abbott Drive.
In the Upstate, the company listed Boiling Springs, Highway 9; Central, Eighteen Mile Road; Clemson, Old Greenville Highway; Laurens, Main Street and Simpsonville on West Georgia Road.
With the renovations, the company also plans to offer free pharmacy delivery for Walmart+ members and an app to help customers find items in stores and book appointments at Walmart’s Auto Care Center.
Walmart invested more than $536 million to upgrade stores throughout South Carolina over the past five years, the news release said.
This is part of a plan to remodel 500 stores across the nation.
Updated pharmacies will offer vaccines and other clinical services and Vision Centers will be designed for greater privacy, offering brands like Nike, Calvin Klein, and DKNY.
In South Carolina over the past year, Walmart and the Walmart Foundation donated more than $31 million to local nonprofits, including providing more than 15 million pounds of food to help fight hunger.
