Walmart is getting a paint job! The worldwide known company is adapting to new times and is making some changes. If you are a frequent customer of Walmart, you will like the new ones because the stores will match the customers’ hopes. You will find the same quality, but more inclusive and modern stores.
Walmart’s popularity
Walmart is one of the top retail companies in the world, founded in 1962 by Sam Walton in Arkansas. It is an American company with more than 4,600 stories in the United States in which over 200 millions of people buy online or in stores… every week! Many people go to these stores because of the prices, customers can find any type of product – groceries, electronic devices, clothes and so on – at a very low price in comparison to other companies.
The company also creates numerous job positions not only in America but also in the other 19 countries you can find Walmart, Chile, Mexico, Canada, etc.
‘Stores of the future’
This is the name for the new project and it is a clue of what the new stores will be. Walmart stores are keeping up to date with new generations and new technological advances. They will be more sustainable and convenience will be everywhere, so next time you go to one of these you will see spots for charging you electric vehicle and shopping will be much more comfortable than before.
More than 650 stores will be renovated in the United States and Puerto Rico, and some others will be built from scratch. This is a huge initiative as many stores are included in this project promoting their values.
Features of the new Walmart
They are willing to be the talk in the town with their new incorporations building and customer wise. They want to improve the organization of the stores, where products could be easily accessible and clients won’t get lost; and clients have indicated paths, so they don’t have the sense of going over and over in the same direction. What’s more, the appearance of Walmart will change too, they want to be modernized and include advanced technology to make customer assistance much better and they are also aware of the privacy of customers so they are including private areas in the pharmacy spot when it comes to medical aid.
The most important improvement of this project is sustainability and inclusivity. They want to reduce the energy used to make the least negative impact on the environment as possible. Also, Walmart will have access to the stores for disabled people.
The reason behind this change
Walmart can be found in more than 100 locations, but the most important ones are North Carolina, Virginia, New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Even though they are all around the United States and beyond, online shopping is the trend now and they have some opponents like Amazon or Target. The Walmart app is also being renovated, creating the site much more easier to search for products.
What they are trying to do with this renovation of stores and online app is making customers the priority and get their confidence, to ensure future sales. They are always looking for new strategies to catch the clients’ attention.
From time to time it is good to analyze yourself or what you are doing and try to adapt it to current times. As Walmart is doing, trying to make an impact and not being out of fashion, you could also do it with a project you may have in mind. Everything evolves so we need to be up to date with the new advances in any field and also what society demands, that is key to any business.
