I’ll have to admit I haven’t been in a Walmart store for a long time. It is just a place I don’t think about going.
I always thought Walmart was over crowded with merchandise, sloppy in display, and difficult to maneuver. It just wasn’t an inviting atmosphere, and if it was my only choice, I would get in and out a quickly as I could.
You can imagine my surprise when I walked into one a couple of weeks ago. My wife Susie and I were in Whitehall and needed something, I’ve long forgotten what, but Walmart was our only option at the time.
As we walked in I was amazed. I was thinking where am I and what have you done with Walmart. It was open and brighter, wider isles, easy to navigate and find what we needed. Even the food market of the store and re-done pharmacy was cool.
That is what is happening, a store at a time. 14 Michigan stores are due for a total re-do which includes stores in Grand Haven and Muskegon…
