Renovated store offers a glimpse into the next generation of shopping

MEXICO, Maine, – The Mexico Walmart, located at 258 River Road, will celebrate a grand re-opening this week, giving local shoppers a glimpse of the company’s next generation of store design and customer experience. The results of a three-month remodeling project will be unveiled at the Mexico Walmart at 8 a.m., Friday, Nov. 5. Among the many improvements are a new layout, low-profile shelving, bright interior paint scheme, enhanced lighting and easy-to-read signage to make the shopping experience more convenient for customers than ever before.

“We listened to our customers and have redesigned the store to make shopping at Walmart even easier,” said store manager Dave McCafferty.
New Layout Improves Customer Experience

Walmart aligned the departments that customers shop most frequently, making it quicker to purchase everyday items.

“The new layout is easier to navigate, which will save our customers time as they shop for necessities,” said McCafferty.

Among the changes, Walmart has combined the Site-to-Store pick-up location and photo lab into a single area at the rear of the store. Customers now have ready access to these services as well as associates who can provide assistance as needed.

A bright interior paint scheme and enhanced lighting create a more inviting shopping experience and help define the store’s merchandise areas. Low-profile shelving creates an improved sightline and directional signage helps customers find the products they need.
Expanded Departments Add Value and Savings

The remodel also brings Walmart customers an expanded electronics department featuring a wide selection of the latest consumer electronics and home entertainment. The new design includes a more hands-on experience for customers with interactive displays for hi-definition Blu-ray, video gaming and portable electronics. The interactive experience enables shoppers to test new technology.

A new department called Celebration Station has been added and will feature party supplies, greeting cards, balloons and helium tanks, cake supplies and gift wrap.
Grand Re-opening Activities Include Support for Local Organizations

The grand re-opening celebration is scheduled for Friday, Nov. 5, and will begin with a ribbon-cutting ceremony at 8 a.m. During the ceremony, store associates will present grants from the Walmart Foundation to local organizations, including Rumford Police Department, Rumford Fire Department, Mexico Police Department, Mexico Fire Department, Rumford Hospital, Hope Association and Mountain Valley Athletic Boosters.
