Walmart chose 29 stores across South Carolina to remodel, investing more than $536 million statewide over the past five years.
The upgrades to the locations include changes to layouts, technology and services to offer faster and more convenient shopping. The retailer will now offer free pharmacy delivery and a store-based app to navigate the stores and to book services at Walmart’s auto center.
“Our stores have long been part of communities across South Carolina, and we’re excited to keep investing in their future,” Annie Walker, senior vice president of the east business unit at Walmart, said in a news release. “By modernizing our stores, we’re making shopping faster, easier and more convenient, all while empowering our teams to serve customers better and creating local opportunity.
