The remodeled Tupelo store features a more open shopping environment with wider aisles. Walmart also aligned the departments that customers shop most frequently, making it faster to purchase everyday items. The pharmacy is now located near the general merchandise entrance.
Walmart has combined the Site-to-Store pick-up location and photo lab into a single area at the rear of the store. This has provided ready access to these services and associates to provide assistance.
A bright interior paint scheme and enhanced lighting has helped to create a more inviting shopping experience and help define the store’s merchandise areas. Low-profile shelving creates an improved sightline and directional signage helps customers find the products they need.
The remodeling also brings Walmart customers an expanded electronics department, featuring a wide selection of the latest consumer electronics and home entertainment. The new design includes a more hands-on experience for customers with interactive displays for hi-definition Blu-ray, video gaming and portable electronics.
A new department called Celebration Station has been added, which will feature party supplies, greeting cards, balloons and helium tanks, cake supplies and gift wrap.
