An additional 3,698 square feet will be added for Walmart’s online ordering and pickup service on the north side of the building, according to plans submitted to Mt. Juliet. The store will total just over 180,000 square feet when renovations are complete. Improvements include:

  • New paint and trim in various areas of the building.

  • New signage for online ordering and brand identity updates.

  • Overall parking increase of 21 spaces.

Renovations are underway, according to Walmart.

Renovations will mainly be completed overnight, after the store closes at 11 p.m., and is expected to have a minimal impact when the store is open, according to Walmart spokesperson Brian Little.

Completion is estimated for late May, Little said.
