Remodeled Walmart "Grand Reopening" Friday

Fairhope, Alabama 

 Update: The grand reopening was put off until May 12.

 


 


 

 IMPROVING HOW YOU WALMART?

With the arrival of new competition in the area from Aldi and Publix, the Fairhope Walmart will have a grand reopening tomorrow, May 5th according to signs posted in the store.

More self checkouts have been added, aisles widened, departments rearranged, and other cosmetic changes were noticable the day before. 

New landscaping and curbside delivery spaces were added outside; shelves seemed to be well stocked as well, which has been a major problem there in recent months.


Wider aisles.

 

More self checkouts.

Do not like it at all! Can't find anything, items placed where you wouldn't even think to look. They need to pass out maps for the all new layout. Took me 2 hours yesterday to shop for 10-12 items. Only two cashiers in the whole store.

Where is the grand opening sale? Giving back to the community is admirable.

They needed wider aisles because of all of the "Walmart" pickers and vendors blocking the aisles with their carts and pallet jacks.

I do like the self-checkout, but the previous ones were better having more space and a little conveyor belt.

Lastly, I hope they manage their inventory better. Previously, they were constantly out of products even though their online "in-store" inventory showed they had the products in stock and on the shelves.

We were in there yesterday and it is a definite improvement. Only issue I see is they are stacking items higher up on shelves, looks like I’ll have job security helping out shorties get things down😎
The new self checkouts stink, conveyor belts were better and, I could need get cash back from the register and, could not even get cash from the ATM machine. Looks like Walmart is going cashless…….

Check out their app. Key in the item, it tells you what aisle it is on. Very helpful with the change in layout.
