According to a corporate press release, Walmart plans to remodel three stores in Maine this year, including its Biddeford location on Boulder Way.

According to a company spokesperson, Walmart is “expanding its assortment of healthy foods, affordable on-trend items and enhancing the in-store and online experience.”

The retailer says it has invested more than $84 million statewide over the past five years to upgrade its stores across the state of Maine. Beyond the Biddeford store, Walmart is also planning to upgrade its store locations in Falmouth and Auburn.

The company says that three remodel projects represent “ongoing efforts to modernize the in-store and digital shopping experience—upgrading layouts, technology, and services to offer faster, more convenient shopping and delivery in as little as an hour to most customers.”

These efforts, a spokesperson said, reflect Walmart’s commitment to supporting economic growth and strengthening communities statewide.

The company says that its new and remodeled stores will offer expanded customer services, such as free Pharmacy delivery for Walmart + members, including on GLP-1s – and a store-based app experience that helps customers easily navigate through the stores, book services at Walmart’s Auto Care Center, and more.

“The result is a more intuitive, convenient experience that helps customers shop how they want, when they want,” reads the press release sent to the Biddeford Gazette.

According to the company, Walmart is planning remodels at more than 650 Supercenters and Neighborhood Markets across the nation this year.

“Our stores have long been part of communities across Maine, and we’re excited to keep investing in their future,” said Annie Walker, Senior Vice President, East Business Unit at Walmart. “By modernizing our stores, we’re making shopping faster, easier, and more convenient, all while empowering our teams to serve customers better and creating local opportunity. We’re proud of our legacy here and look forward to helping families save money, time and live better every day.”

The company says that every new store or remodel “brings real benefits to the community — from construction jobs to long-term careers in retail, pharmacy and store leadership. Customers will notice the difference, too, with elevated brands like De’Longhi, Oura, Jessica Simpson, and Lemme, and interactive displays that make it easier to picture how products look in their homes.”

According to a company spokesperson, Walmart’s impact extends well beyond its stores and into its communities. In Maine over the past year, Walmart and the Walmart Foundation donated more than $14 million to local nonprofits, including providing more than 7 million pounds of food to help fight hunger.
