The company continues to invest in its stores as part of its ongoing efforts to modernize the in-store shopping experience and drive growth.
The retail giant plans to remodel more than 650supercenters and Neighborhood Markets in 2026 and open approximately 20 new locations this year and in early 2027. (In 2025, Walmart opened nine new stores across Alabama, California, Florida, New Jersey, Texas and Utah.) The 2026 remodelling schedule includes (but not limited to) 72 stores in Texas, 58 in Florida, 56 in California and 37 in North Carolina.
The remodels and openings are part of Walmart’s 2024 commitment to open or convert more than 150 new larger-format locations during the next five years while continuing to update its existing stores.
The retailer noted that it has already opened several locations this year, including a Neighborhood Market in Ocala, Florida. It also opened a supercenter in Eastvale, California and three in Florida (Apollo Beach, Jacksonville and The Villages).
Additional 2026 new store openings are slated for Celina, Texas and Carolina Shores, North Carolina. Walmart will also continue its expansion in Florida, with locations that include Lady Lake, Crestview and Spring Hill.
