Walmart Supercenter Celebrates Grand Reopening In San Jose

SAN JOSE, CA — Walmart hosted a grand reopening of its Story Road Supercenter on Friday, marking the completion of a major remodel with donations to local organizations in San Jose.

Shoppers at the overhauled store will notice a new front area equipped with four times as many self-checkout registers, an overall "refreshed appearance," and renovated or expanded departments including the pharmacy and Vision Center. Other upgrades include a new community mural and more robust online grocery pickup and delivery services.

"Walmart's goal is to be there for our community, and this remodel is a testament to that — we now have a new mother's room and a brand new private consultation room at the pharmacy, because we understand the importance of our customers' privacy," said Sophia Jackson, the Supercenter manager. "Our newly renovated store will allow us to better serve our area."

Friday's celebration included a $10,000 in grants from Walmart split between Toys for Tots San Jose, the Silicon Valley Pet Project, the San Jose Police Officers Foundation, Second Harvest of Silicon Valley Food Bank and Gunderson High School.

The San Jose remodel is the latest in Walmart's $9 billion investment to modernize more than 1,400 locations across the United States.
