A Store that’s Seen a Lot of Foot Traffic

The store manager, Amanda Payton, who has been at the helm for the past three years, has seen firsthand the wear and tear that comes from constant foot traffic. With this renovation, not only will the store be getting a fresh look, but it will also enhance the convenience shoppers have come to expect from their beloved neighborhood market.

New Lighting and Signage: Say goodbye to dull lighting—this renovation will bring a brighter and more inviting atmosphere.
Fully Remodeled Bathrooms: Talk about much-needed updates! The bathrooms will be receiving a complete makeover, and here’s the best part: they will include a new mother’s room for added convenience.
Additional Grocery Aisles: More aisles mean more choices, so expect to discover your go-to products even easier!
New Flooring: A fresh floor is always a lovely touch. The new layout in the pharmacy, upgraded bakery/deli, and revamped vision center, with a larger selection of frames, are sure to catch your eye.
Exterior Updates: The store will be getting a fresh coat of paint, moving away from the current yellow color to a new, vibrant hue!

A Short Wait for a Big Change

Don’t worry about being shut out during renovations; the construction is expected to last just 15 weeks, and customers are welcome to shop throughout this time. That means you can enjoy the benefits of the updates as they roll out!

The Bigger Picture: Walmart’s Plans

These renovations are part of a broader vision from Walmart, known as the “Store of the Future” concept. Throughout 2024, they began remodeling 650 existing stores and designing 12 new ones. They plan to continue this trend in 2025, with more store remodels and the construction of over 150 additional stores, all part of a total investment exceeding half a billion dollars. Louisiana alone will see 35 stores eyeing a makeover, and our very own Bossier City market is leading the charge!

What Lies Ahead for Other Walmart Locations

Meanwhile, Walmart has more plans brewing in Louisiana. Other Walmart locations, including the supercenter at 1629 E. Creswell Lane in Opelousas, will also benefit from renovations, which will include upgrades to the auto care center and deli/bakery areas. Upon completion, there will even be a celebratory event to mark the occasion!

Looking Forward to the Future
