The Sugarcreek Township Walmart celebrated the grand re-opening ceremony on 27 August 2010. The store unveiled the company’s next generation of store design and customer experience. The renovation project has been designed by incorporating customers’ input.
The remodeled Sugarcreek Township store features a more open shopping environment with wider aisles that contain no product displays. Walmart also aligned the departments that customers shop most frequently, making it quicker to purchase everyday items.
The new improved Walmart has combined the Site-to-Store pick-up location and photo lab into a single area at the rear of the store. Customers currently have ready access to these services as well as associates who can provide assistance as needed.
A bright interior paint scheme and enhanced lighting create a more inviting shopping experience. This helps in defining the store’s merchandise areas. Low-profile shelving creates an improved sightline and directional signage helps customers find the products they need.
The remodelled store features 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. The interactive experience enables shoppers to test new technology.
A new department called Celebration Station has been added featuring party supplies, greeting cards, balloons and helium tanks, cake supplies and gift wrap.
