Walmart plans to remodel several stores in Riverside County this year as part of a broader effort to upgrade dozens of locations statewide.
The retailer said it will remodel 56 stores across California, with improvements focused on store layouts, technology and expanded services aimed at creating a faster and more convenient shopping experience.
In Riverside County, stores slated for upgrades are:
— Corona, 1560 W. 6th St.;
— Hemet, 1231 S. Sanderson Ave.;
— Riverside, 5200 Van Buren Blvd.; and
— Riverside, 6250 Valley Springs Pkwy.
Company officials said upgrades will include enhancements to both in-store and online shopping, including expanded delivery options and updated mobile app features designed to help customers navigate stores and access services more easily.
“We’re continuing to invest in California with a focus on how we can better serve communities across the state,” Jay Cordray, senior vice president of Walmart’s West business unit, said in a statement. “By modernizing our stores, we’re making everyday shopping more convenient and creating a more connected experience, while empowering our associates to better support the evolving needs of our customers.”
The remodeled stores are also expected to feature updated pharmacies, vision centers and expanded product selections, along with redesigned spaces intended to improve customer flow and accessibility.
Walmart said the projects are part of a larger investment strategy that has included more than $1.1 billion in store upgrades across California over the past five years.
Officials said remodels will be completed throughout the year, though specific timelines for individual locations were not immediately available.
