Hohenwald Walmart Store New Customer-Centric Features and Community Mural

Walmart announced a transformative remodel to its Hohenwald Supercenter at 612 E. Main St. on Friday, April 26. Store associates marked the occasion with a ribbon-cutting ceremony, community celebration and donation check presentations, including $5,000 to Davis House Child Advocacy Center, $2,000 to the Lewis County Schools Booster Club to benefit the track and field team, and $2,000 to Hope Hohenwald Inc.

The grand reopening celebration was attended by store associates; community members; Danny McKnight, Hohenwald mayor; Jonah Keltner, Lewis County mayor; Debbie Landers, Hohenwald-Lewis County Chamber of Commerce executive director; and the Lewis County High School band, cheerleaders and mascot.

"We are always looking for ways to better serve our customers," said Rhonda Turner, store manager. "Our recent store improvements bring a more welcoming, convenient and modern environment for Lewis County customers to shop."

During the celebration, Turner highlighted the Supercenter's new customer-focused features and amenities, including:

New signage, fixtures and LED lighting throughout the entire store to improve accessibility and create an easier shopping experience

Updated departments, including Garden Center, Pet Supplies department, Deli and more

New merchandise, including nursery furniture, kids' bedding, luggage and more

Expanded pharmacy with two additional registers and a new private screening room for pharmacist consultations and services

Hohenwald's store transformations are a part of Walmart's Signature Experience, which seeks to inspire customers and elevate their in-store experience. These upgrades include:

Activated corners: Exciting displays featured at the corners of certain departments to pull customers in and help them touch, feel and become a part of the space, allowing them to discover all that Walmart has to offer.

Elevated departments: Transformed stores feature displays showcasing products that are out of their boxes so customers can imagine them fitting into their daily lives.

More space to discover: Walmart has purposefully created more space for customers to explore and discover the breadth and depth of what their local store has to offer.

Digital touchpoints: These new touchpoints located throughout the store will help to communicate to customers the vast range of products and services Walmart offers online through the use of QR codes and digital screens.

For example, in Walmart's Pets area, a customer may scan the QR code to find additional dog bed options, learn about Walmart's pet insurance service options or have a 20-pound bag of kibble delivered to their door.

In addition, Hohenwald Walmart customers will save time and money by shopping when, where and how they want using Walmart Pickup, delivery services and Walmart Pay, a touch-free way to pay.
