Walmart Canada announced Thursday that it will spend $175 million on upgrades and improvements in several of its stores across the country.
The company says 23 Walmart stores across the country will be refurbished or updated to provide a comprehensive omni-channel experience featuring a seamless intersection of the in-store and online shopping experience by February 2109.
Walmart says the $175 Million investment in its Canadian stores will result in more than 2,500 construction jobs.
Customers can expect to see in-store physical updates that include wider aisles, an updated colour palette, new signage, along with an updated exterior store front design to provide clearer access.
Walmart also plans to create seamless integration of online shopping and in-store experience for omni-channel consumers, including dedicated parking spaces for online grocery pickup and new areas in stores devoted to online orders.
You can also expect to find more products, including new ethnic selections and organics.
