News related to Walmart’s stores of the future has recently become a trend in the United States. The truth is that this popular North American chain has already opened three stores of this type in the country, one of them located in Florida.
It is about a modernization of warehouses from a series of technological aspects to improve their services. In this sense, the Walmart store in Tallahassee, belonging to León County, Florida, had an expected reopening, joining the “stores of the future”.
In other words, customers in the area will be able to enjoy important changes in their consumption habits within this new store.
But this is not an entirely new idea. With an investment of $130 million, Walmart announced its expansion plans for the new project since last November.
As a result of this budget, the company’s plans revolved around creating the stores of the future in 28 of its branches.
Indeed, in the past few years Walmart has already gone through quite a few changes. Just to cite a few examples is the delivery of products by means of drones or its membership in Walmart+. He also highlighted the integration of Artificial Intelligence in his online store.
What particularities do the stores of the future have?
A total of $6 million cost the first store of the future in Washington, launched in 2022. Additionally, in Beavercreek, Ohio, another store received a massive makeover that added 63,000 square feet.
But now, the new remodeled warehouse will have all the accessories with which Walmart wants to identify the “stores of the future.”
It is located at 4021 Lagniappe Way and among its new tools are bedroom, gardening and clothing displays with QR codes. This, so that customers can scan from their mobile phones and take them directly to the products on Walmart.com.
It also has digital signage to define store departments and new pickup, delivery and payment features.
In addition, it has 26 self-pay lanes, much more than the 6 they previously had. It also has “Grab N Go” refrigerators, which are the products charged when you take them from there; something similar to Amazon’s Just Walk Out.
Similarly, he owns a dollar store, with items that are only $1.00 USD, new light fixtures and relocated sections.
