As part of an ongoing effort to enhance the overall shopping experience, Walmart plans to remodel 12 stores in New Jersey this year.

In an April 16 press release, the Bentonville, Ark.-based retail giant said improvements will focus on upgrading layouts and services to offer faster, more convenient in-store shopping and delivery to customers.

The revamped locations will feature expanded departments with new products as well as bigger, bolder signage and updated displays to better showcase merchandise. Updates to Walmart’s pharmacy and vision center areas are also planned.

The New Jersey remodels are part of a companywide goal this year to enhance more than 650 of its 4,600 stores across the U.S.

Over the past five years, Walmart has invested more than $173 million to transform locations statewide. Refreshed sites include Bridgeton, West Berlin, Vineland, Freehold, Bayonne, Kearny, East Brunswick, Burlington, Linden, Hackettstown, Secaucus, North Bergen and Teterboro.

‘Proud of our legacy here’

Annie Walker, Walmart east business unit vice president, said, “Our stores have long been part of communities across New Jersey, and we’re excited to keep investing in their future.”

“By improving our stores, we’re making shopping faster, easier, and more convenient, all while empowering our teams to serve customers better and creating local opportunity. We’re proud of our legacy here and look forward to helping families save money, time and live better every day,” Walker said.

Within New Jersey, Walmart employs more than 25,000 associates across its 70 retail units and five supply chain facilities. It reported investing in the community by spending $15.5 billion with 1,000 New Jersey-based suppliers in 2025 to support nearly 113,000 jobs across the state. Over the past year, the company donated more than $11 million to New Jersey nonprofits and gave more than 5 million pounds of food to fight hunger.

Store associates also supported education, disaster response efforts and other community-driven initiatives through partnerships with trusted local organizations, the chain said.
