Walmart’s massive five-year plan will include building or converting 150 stores into larger format locations. The project will start with two southeast locations. Announced in a blog post from Walmart U.S. President and CEO John Furner, the nation’s largest private employer will open its first two new stores, both Neighborhood Market formats, this spring – one in Santa Rosa Beach, Florida and another in Atlanta Georgia. Walmart is also finalizing construction plans on 12 new projects that will start in 2024, as well as converting one of its smaller locations to a Walmart Supercenter. Those locations haven’t been announced.
