BENTONVILLE, Ark.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Walmart today announced continued reinvestment across Georgia, with plans in 2026 to remodel 13 stores as part of ongoing efforts to modernize the in-store and digital shopping experience—upgrading layouts, technology, and services to offer faster, more convenient 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 Georgia, 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 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 $961.5 million to upgrade stores throughout Georgia over the past five years.

"Walmart has been part of the communities across Georgia for generations," said Nick Berkeley, Senior Vice President, Southeast Business Unit, Walmart U.S. “By modernizing our store, we're making shopping easier, whether customers are walking the aisles, picking up an order on the go, or having essentials delivered when life gets busy. We're proud of our legacy here and look forward to helping families save time and live better every day."

Every new store or remodel brings real benefits to the community — from construction jobs to long-term careers in retail, pharmacy and store leadership. Customers will notice the difference, too, with elevated brands and products from brands like De’Longhi, Oura, Jessica Simpson, and Lemme, and interactive displays that make it easier to picture how products look in their homes.

The transformed stores also feature updated pharmacies offering affordable medications, vaccines and other clinical services, with support from trusted pharmacists, and Vision Centers designed for greater privacy and convenience, offering brands like Nike, Calvin Klein, and DKNY, along with services like free cleanings and adjustments.

Strengthening Georgia Communities

Walmart’s impact extends well beyond its stores and into its communities. In Georgia over the past year, Walmart and the Walmart Foundation donated $61.4 million to local nonprofits, including providing 28.4 million pounds of food to help fight hunger. In fact, the company just kicked off its annual Fight Hunger, Spark Change campaign to help address food insecurity locally. Every donation and qualifying purchase provides access to essential food and resources to local food banks in that area, empowering families to thrive.

Through locally led giving, store associates also supported education, disaster response efforts, and other community-driven initiatives – working alongside trusted local organizations to help build stronger communities across the state.
