LIMA — Walmart announced plans to invest an estimated $75 million this year in the west central Ohio area to update and remodel 12 stores, including stores at 2450 Allentown Road in Lima and at 1950 Havermann Road in Celina.
In addition to the local jobs the investment supports, these store transformations will create an updated experience for customers, including expanded shopping options to help people save time and money. Walmart plans to transform stores in communities across the region, with details on store-specific improvements to be announced to the public ahead of each store’s re-grand opening celebrations.
When complete, many remodeled stores will offer pick up, delivery and Express delivery, which are deliveries in under two hours.
In a press release Jessica Villanueva, Regional General Manager, Walmart, commented, “Our local stores have never been more important to the way we serve customers today and, in the future. These stores serve a substantial number of rural communities, so whether someone is shopping in-store, online, through mobile or pick up, our brick-and-mortar stores play an important role in fulfilling those orders. These investments will make it easier for our stores and associates to get customers what they want, when they want it.”
