“Walmart has been part of the Pearl community for nearly 44 years and we are always looking for ways to better serve our customers,” said Chris Smith, Pearl Store Manager. “By remodeling our current store, we will be able to offer our customers greater convenience and an improved shopping environment. We ask our customers to be patient as we work to implement these improvements.”
Once the project is complete, Walmart associates in Pearl will host a community celebration to unveil new customer-focused upgrades designed to improve the overall in-store experience.
Upgrades at Pearl Walmart Supercenter includes:
- Activated corners: Exciting displays at the corners of certain departments attract customers and help them touch, feel and become a part of the space, allowing them to discover everything Walmart has to offer.
- Increased departments: Remodeled stores feature displays that showcase products that are not in the packaging, allowing customers to imagine them fitting into their daily lives.
- More space to explore: Walmart has intentionally created more space for customers to explore and discover the breadth and depth of their local store's offerings.
- Digital touchpoints: These new touchpoints throughout the store will help communicate to customers the wide selection of products and services Walmart offers online using QR codes and digital screens.
- For example, in Walmart's Pets section, a customer can scan the QR code to find additional dog bed options, learn about Walmart's pet insurance service options, or have a 20-pound bag of dry food delivered to their door .
