HARTFORD – Walmart plans to continue its reinvestment across Connecticut, with plans this year to remodel 10 stores as part of ongoing efforts to modernize the in-store and digital shopping experience. Among the stores targeted is the Norwalk location at 650 Main Ave.
The remodel includes upgrades to layouts, technology, and services to offer faster, more convenient shopping and delivery in as little as an hour to most customers.
Walmart’s new and remodeled stores will expand services such as free Pharmacy delivery for Walmart + members, including on GLP-1s, and a store-based app experience that helps customers easily navigate through the stores and book services at Walmart’s Auto Care Center.
Nationally, Walmart is planning remodels at more than 650 Supercenters and Neighborhood Markets in 2026. Additionally, Walmart invested more than $68 million to upgrade stores throughout Connecticut over the past five years.
“Our stores have long been part of communities across Connecticut, and we’re excited to keep investing in their future,” said Annie Walker, senior vice president, East Business Unit at Walmart. “By modernizing 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.”
Customers will notice the difference, too, with elevated brands like De’Longhi, Oura, Jessica Simpson, and Lemme, and interactive displays that make it easier to picture how products look in their homes.
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.
Walmart’s impact extends well beyond its stores and into its communities. In Connecticut over the past year, Walmart and the Walmart Foundation donated more than $3 million to local nonprofits, including providing more than 1.5 million pounds of food to help fight hunger
