Walmart is giving its massive stores a good makeover, with a redesign that will mimics its app so shoppers can more easily find what they’re looking for.In a push to get more people to download its app and use it while shopping . Now-a-days Walmart is encouraging shoppers to download it prior to entering to assist in navigating the store, search for more options online and pay once finished.The redesign will roll out to 200 US stores by the end of the year and 1,000 more by the end of 2021.
Shoppers will also notice that Walmart’s departments are being more clearly organized and new, larger signage will be installed. Walmart (WMT) said the new signs were inspired by airports because they are “best-in-class examples of how to navigate large groups of people,” especially in light of the pandemic that has sent people flocking to stock up on essentials.
The redesign process began last year, before Covid-19, but includes features that people have gotten used to such as contactless payments. For example, customers can use “Scan & Go” on its app so people don’t have to interact with others while paying. The redesign was inspired by customer feedback and might be tweaked depending on shoppers’ response.
