Walmart renovating more metro Atlanta stores
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Walmart's drive to modernize stores with wider aisles, brighter lighting, lower shelving and new signs is continuing in metro Atlanta. Renovations started Feb. 7 on the Riverdale store on Highway 85 and the Buford store near the Mall of Georgia. The remodeling of both stores should be completed April 23, according to the world's largest retailer. The stores will remain open during the construction. The Riverdale store is hiring about 90 associates to help during the work. Renovations started on Georgia stores last year and will continue this year. The renovations are part of a new merchandising strategy by the Bentonville, Ark.-based retailer. The company is removing clutter and bargain bins in favor of more modern store displays. The move partly imitates big box rivals Target and Best Buy, which have used sophisticated merchandising strategies for years .
