How does Walmart’s recent “invest in America” announcement translate locally? Good news if you reside in Florida. Our state is one of two states kicking off the start of the company’s five-year growth plan.
In a message dated January 31, 2024, issued by John Furner, President and CEO of Walmart, the biggest retailer in America plans to get bigger. Better. More sustainable.
Their five-year plan involves building and converting stores which will require additional workers. The grocery giant plans to create tens of thousands of jobs while they remodel existing stores across the country.
Walmart’s changes start in Santa Rosa Beach, Florida, and Atlanta, Georgia.
In their press release, John Furner, President and CEO of Walmart, stated,
“I’m proud to announce our support for even more jobs by expanding and modernizing the facilities most core to our business: our stores. In the next five years, Walmart is planning to build or convert more than 150 stores, while simultaneously continuing our program to remodel existing stores.”
