From an expanded Hispanic product assortment to the convenience of a free-standing Walmart Pickup desk, the recently completed remodel of the Walmart Neighborhood Market at 8885 N. Florida Ave. has brought a number of exciting new features. These and others will be on display following a grand reopening ribbon-cutting at 8 a.m. on Friday, Nov. 10.
“The people of this community have been through Hurricane Irma – and it left our store without power and closed for three days,” said Store Manager Kevin Summey. “But the community came together. This store remodel is another positive story and an example of Walmart’s continued investment in Tampa.”
Customers will enjoy the following store improvements:
· Redesigned customer service desk with more space for money services
· Addition of a free-standing Walmart Pickup desk to serve customers who shop Walmart.com
· More spacious checkout area at front of store
· Expanded assortment of Hispanic products throughout the store to meet customer demand
· Brighter lighting, including in produce department to showcase store’s commitment to fresh
· Refreshed pharmacy with new private consultation room
· New-look, full-service deli with upgraded tile and handicap-accessible counter
· Larger signage throughout for ease of navigation
· Refreshed liquor store
“We’re excited for everyone to come see how we’re helping give time back to our customers with a new and improved shopping experience,” said Summey.
