The redesigned store will be opened on 1 October 2010. Among the many improvements are a new layout, wider aisles, low-profile shelving, bright interior paint scheme, enhanced lighting and easy-to-read signage to make the shopping experience more convenient. Suggestions from customers have been integrated into the remodelling project.
The remodelled Wetumpka 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 layout is easier to navigate, intended to save customers’ time as they shop for necessities.
Among the changes, Walmart has combined the Site-to-Store pick-up location and photo lab into a single area at the rear of the store. Customers now have ready access to these services as well as associates who can provide assistance as needed.
The interior of the store sports a bright interior paint scheme and enhanced lighting creating a more inviting shopping experience. It also 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.
