Walmart is temporarily closing the main sales floors of some stores in several states as it tests a “rapid remodel” strategy, aiming to complete renovations in about four weeks instead of keeping stores open during months-long construction.
The temporary closures will affect certain Walmart Neighborhood Market locations in states including Florida, Texas, Georgia, Oklahoma, South Carolina and Louisiana. Walmart said in a news release that those stores were chosen in part because other nearby locations can continue serving customers while the work is underway.
