The remodelled Clarion Walmart will hold a reopening ceremony on 24 September 2010 to offer local shoppers a glimpse of the company’s next generation of store design and customer experience.
Som of the 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 for customers. Customers’ suggestions were also taken into account during the renovation scheme.
The remodelled Clarion 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 designed to be easier to navigate for customers when they shop for necessities.
As part of the project, 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 help in creating 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 remodel also 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, which will feature party supplies, greeting cards, balloons and helium tanks, cake supplies and gift wrap.
