SALT LAKE CITY — Walmart is proud to deepen its commitment to Utah by investing in local stores, empowering associates and enriching the communities it serves every day. Today, Walmart unveiled details of three planned store remodels this year in Utah and new investments focused on enhancing the associate experience and community engagement. These initiatives underscore Walmart’s goal of being Utah’s favorite place to shop.
“Our stores often serve as the heartbeat of the communities we operate in, and these remodels are a testament to our dedication to enhancing that role,” said Walmart Sr. Vice President and West U.S. Business Operations Lead Jay Cordray. “By investing in our stores and associates, we are not only improving the shopping experience but also reinforcing our commitment to being a vital part of the community’s fabric, helping to build a brighter future for all.”
Investing in a New Store Experience: 2025 Walmart Remodels in Utah
Earlier this month, Walmart announced it is building a new Supercenter in Eagle Mountain. The new store will offer Walmart’s Every Day Low Prices and save customers time with convenient pickup and delivery options. The new Eagle Mountain Supercenter will create approximately 300 new jobs. It is currently scheduled to open in late summer.
Additionally, Walmart has set an ambitious goal to remodel more than 650 stores across the U.S. this year, including three stores in Utah. In the five years prior to 2025, Walmart has invested more than $280 million (M) to upgrade stores throughout Utah.
