Published 7:41 am Monday, July 12, 2010

The Pell City Walmart, located on Vaughan Lane, recently began an extensive renovation. The store will receive a full remodel from the inside out and will represent the latest in Walmart’s store design and customer experience.

 The new design is based on feedback from customers and will feature a clean, open, and bright new look in the store with wider aisles, low-profile shelving, bright interior paint scheme and lighting, and easy-to-read signs to help customers find the products they need. 

 “We are excited to bring an improved shopping experience to our customers,” said store manager Mike Dilorenzo. “We listened to our customers and are redesigning the store to make shopping at Walmart even easier.”

Every department of the store will be updated with all-new shelving, signs, flooring, and product assortment. The store will also feature a new layout designed to make shopping for everyday items easier and faster by aligning the products customers purchase the most.

 The store, including all departments and services, will remain open during the renovations, which are expected to finished during September.  Maps of the store layout will be available at the entrance, and directional signs will be located throughout the store. The majority of construction and moving will be completed during the overnight hours to make shopping easier for customers.

 As many as 65 additional associates are expected to be hired to help with the remodel.
