TRENTON, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Apr. 16, 2026-- Walmart announced continued reinvestment across New Jersey, with plans in 2026 to remodel 12 stores as part of ongoing efforts to improve the in-store and online shopping experience—upgrading layouts and services to offer faster, more convenient in-store shopping and delivery in as little as an hour to most customers. These efforts reflect Walmart’s commitment to supporting jobs and economic growth and strengthening communities statewide.

Across New Jersey, Walmart’s new and remodeled stores bring that vision to life through expanded services – like free Pharmacy delivery for Walmart+ members, including on GLP-1s – and a store-based app experience that helps customers easily navigate through stores, book services at Walmart’s Auto Care Center, and more. The result is a more convenient experience that helps customers shop how they want, when they want.

Nationally, Walmart is planning remodels at more than 650 Supercenters and Neighborhood Markets this year. Additionally, Walmart invested more than $173 million to upgrade stores throughout New Jersey over the past five years.

“Our stores have long been part of communities across New Jersey, and we’re excited to keep investing in their future,” said Annie Walker, Senior Vice President, East Business Unit at Walmart. “By improving our stores, we’re making shopping faster, easier, and more convenient, all while empowering our teams to serve customers better and creating local opportunity. We're proud of our legacy here and look forward to helping families save money, time and live better every day.”

Every new store or remodel brings real benefits to the community — from construction jobs to long-term careers in retail, pharmacy and store leadership. Customers will notice the difference, too, with elevated brands and products from brands like De’Longhi, Oura, Jessica Simpson, and Lemme, and interactive displays that make it easier to picture how products look in their home.

The transformed stores also feature updated pharmacies offering affordable medications, vaccines and other clinical services, with support from trusted pharmacists, and Vision Centers designed for greater privacy and convenience, offering brands like Nike, Calvin Klein, and DKNY, along with services like free cleanings and adjustments.

Strengthening New Jersey Communities

Walmart’s impact extends well beyond its stores and into its communities. In New Jersey over the past year, Walmart and the Walmart Foundation donated more than $11 million to local nonprofits, including providing more than 5 million pounds of food to help fight hunger. In fact, the company just kicked off its annual Fight Hunger, Spark Change campaign to help address food insecurity locally. Every donation and qualifying purchase provides access to essential food and resources to local food banks in that area, empowering families to thrive.

Through locally led giving, store associates also supported education, disaster response efforts, and other community-driven initiatives – working alongside trusted local organizations to help build stronger communities across the state.

Looking Ahead

As part of the phased-approach, Walmart plans to complete remodels at stores in the state throughout the year, including at the following proposed locations:
