Walmart to remodel 37 stores in North Carolina in 2026

Walmart (WMT) announced continued reinvestment across North Carolina, with plans in 2026 to remodel 37 stores and open a new store in Carolina Shores later this year as part of ongoing efforts to modernize the in-store and digital shopping experience-upgrading layouts, technology, and services to offer faster, more convenient in-store shopping and delivery in as little as an hour for most customers. These efforts reflect Walmart’s commitment to supporting economic growth and strengthening communities statewide. Across North Carolina, Walmart’s new and remodeled stores bring that vision to life through expanded services – like free Pharmacy delivery for Walmart+ members, including on GLP-1s – and a store-based app experience that helps customers easily navigate through the stores, book services at Walmart’s Auto Care Center, and more. The result is a more intuitive, convenient experience that helps customers shop how they want, when they want. Nationally, Walmart is planning remodels at more than 650 Supercenters and Neighborhood Markets this year. Additionally, Walmart invested more than $848 million to upgrade stores throughout North Carolina over the past five years.
