Redmond residents will soon get a look at the newly remodeled Walmart Supercenter.
The store, at 300 NW Oaktree Ln., held a community celebration and ribbon cutting where the Redmond community heard from employees who have been with the store since it opened in 2017.
In addition, Walmart provided grants to local community organizations. The Redmond Police Department received $4,500, Central Oregon Autism Movement received $2,000, Terrebonne Assembly of God received $1,000, while Deschutes Veterans Services and Redmond Family Bicycle Park received $500.
The remodel includes expanded parking for online grocery pickup, new signage and wider aisles for easier navigation, new service counters for paint and automotive departments, and a new mural welcoming customers to the store. The upgrades also complement the measures the company has taken in its U.S. stores to help protect associates and customers from the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
“Redmond customers will love our store updates as we’ve made it easier, faster and more enjoyable to find the items they need,” store manager Charles Edwards said. “We can’t wait for customers to see our updated interior and expanded store offerings.”
